MUMBAI, May 17, 2025 – KRBL Limited, India’s leading basmati rice producer and exporter, announced its Q4 FY25 financial results, showcasing a stellar performance. The Noida-based company came out with a strong operational efficiency and stable input costs in its quarterly results.
KRBL reported a 35.1% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated net profit, reaching ₹154 crore, up from ₹114 crore in Q4 FY24. The company in a media statement said that its revenue for the quarter rose 9.4% YoY to ₹1,442.2 crore, compared to ₹1,318.3 crore in the same period last year.
KRBL’s EBITDA climbed 25.4% to ₹223.7 crore. The EBITDA margin expanded to 15.5% from 13.5% in Q4 FY24. The board also recommended a final dividend of ₹3.50 per equity share, subject to shareholder approval.
The KRBL stock closed at ₹324 on Friday with minor gains. The stock has roughly gained 15% in the last 15 days.
Analysts stated that the strong Q4 performance of KRBL was underpinned by continued demand for premium rice exports and improved margins. KRBL showed operational efficiency in its fully integrated basmati value chain.
The company’s market capitalization stands at approximately ₹7,397 crore, with a 37% market share in general trade and 45% in modern trade for basmati packaged rice in India, as per Nielsen data for Q1 FY25.
The strong Q4 performance comes amid continued demand for premium rice exports and stable input costs, said analysts. This helped KRBL to protect margins and boost profitability, said CNBC in a report.
Ayush Gupta, Business Head – Domestic, KRBL, had previously indicated optimism about margin improvements. He had told The Economic Times in interview, “With a new distributor appointed in Saudi Arabia, export business is witnessing improvement in sales. This should lead to improvement in EBITDA margins.”
On X, @equitybulls highlighted the profit growth, posting, “KRBL Limited posts rise in Q4FY25 consolidated net profit at Rs. 154.21 crores,” underscoring the company’s strong financial health.
Despite the robust results, KRBL faced challenges, including a ₹5 crore fine by Customs Department for basmati rice export grading violations, which the company plans to appeal. Additionally, the Appellate Tribunal ordered the Enforcement Directorate to refund ₹11.13 crore to KRBL, providing a financial boost.
Looking ahead, KRBL’s focus on branded basmati penetration and export market expansion is expected to sustain growth. The company’s India Gate brand, recognized as the world’s No. 1 basmati rice brand, continues to drive market leadership.
Analysts stated that KRBL’s Q4 FY25 results reflected its resilience and market dominance in the basmati rice sector. The company is aiming to capitalize on growing global demand for premium rice.
