Adani Wilmar Ltd. saw double-digit growth in both its edible oil and food divisions during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, driven by increased retail presence and heightened demand due to festivities like Holi and the wedding season.
In its quarterly business update on Friday, the consumer goods business led by billionaire Gautam Adani reported an overall volume growth of 4% for the quarter. However, a notable decrease in the export business of animal feed exerted downward pressure on the overall volume growth.
The company stated that despite an increase in volume, FY24 witnessed lower revenue due to reduced edible oil prices compared to the previous year.
