Noida-based healthy snacking company Farmley closed FY25 on a stronger financial footing, riding a sharp rise in demand for better-for-you food options across India. The company’s operating revenue climbed to nearly Rs 400 crore in the year ended March 2025, marking a year-on-year growth of about 71 percent, according to filings with the Registrar of Companies. In comparison, Farmley had reported operating revenue of roughly Rs 230 crore in FY24.
The growth was powered by wider adoption of Farmley’s core product categories, including makhana-based snacks, roasted nuts and seeds, and date-centric offerings. These categories have gained traction as Indian consumers increasingly shift away from traditional fried snacks toward products positioned around health, convenience and clean ingredients. The company’s expanding presence across online marketplaces, quick commerce platforms and modern retail channels also contributed to higher volumes.
While expenses rose in line with scale-up efforts, Farmley succeeded in tightening losses during the year. Net loss narrowed by around 15 percent to Rs 22.5 crore in FY25, compared with Rs 26.5 crore in the previous fiscal. The improvement indicates better cost controls and improving contribution margins, even as the brand continued to invest in marketing, supply chain and product development.
Key profitability indicators showed incremental improvement, although they remained in the red. Return on capital employed stood at minus 51.56 percent, while EBITDA margin improved to minus 3.68 percent. Industry observers view these trends as early signs of healthier unit economics, particularly for a direct-to-consumer brand operating in a competitive packaged food market.
Farmley’s FY25 performance highlights the momentum building in India’s organised healthy snacking segment. Rising health awareness, changing lifestyles and higher willingness to pay for perceived nutrition are reshaping consumer baskets across urban and semi-urban markets. For Farmley, the combination of strong revenue growth and a narrowing loss base signals progress toward long-term sustainability, even as competition intensifies and brands race to balance scale with profitability.
