AWL Agri Business was incorporated in 1999. It was earlier known as Adani Wilmar Limited and originally operated as a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and Wilmar International.

The company produces and distributes edible oils, flour, rice, pulses, sugar, vegetable ghee, ready-to-cook products, and other packaged foods. Its major brands include Fortune, Kohinoor, and Kings.

Its operations are divided into three main business segments:

Edible oil contributed around 80% of FY26 revenue. This provides scale but also creates considerable dependence on one business segment.

The company follows an integrated business model covering sourcing, processing, manufacturing, branding, and distribution. It has more than 70 manufacturing units, over 10,000 distributors and sub-distributors, and a retail network covering around 21 lakh outlets.

Its products are also available in more than 50 countries.

AWL Agri Business is expanding its packaged food portfolio, distribution network, exports, and alternative sales channels. These areas could gradually reduce its dependence on edible oils.

Expansion in packaged foods

The company sells flour, rice, pulses, sugar, besan, soya products, and ready-to-cook foods. These products are part of everyday household consumption.

The Food and FMCG segment generated revenue of ₹6,473 crore in FY26. Reported revenue increased by 3% year on year. Excluding the discontinued government-to-government rice business, revenue increased by 9%.

Growth in edible oils

The edible oil segment generated revenue of ₹59,787 crore in FY26, an increase of 20% year on year. Sales volume in the segment increased by 6%.

However, edible oil margins can be affected by global commodity prices, import duties, currency movements, and domestic competition.

Wider distribution reach

AWL Agri Business has over 10,000 distributors and sub-distributors. Its retail network covers around 21 lakh outlets across urban and rural markets.

A wider distribution network can support new product launches and increase the availability of packaged food products.

Expansion into other categories

The company has expanded beyond food products into home and personal care products. These include soaps, handwashes, and multipurpose cleaners.

A wider product portfolio may improve diversification. However, investors should assess whether newer categories contribute consistently to revenue and profits.

For the quarter ending March 31, 2026, AWL Agri Business reported revenue of ₹21,465 crore, up 18% year on year. Net profit rose by 54% to ₹293 crore, while operational EBITDA increased by 40% to ₹628 crore.
For FY26, revenue stood at ₹74,731 crore, up 17%. However, operational EBITDA declined by 6% to ₹2,343 crore, while net profit fell by 15% to ₹1,045 crore. Sales volume increased by 4% to 68 lakh metric tonnes.
As of June 30, 2026, promoter holding stood at 56.94%, while public shareholders held 43.06%. Mutual funds held 8.25%, while foreign portfolio investors held 21.09%.
The company remains highly dependent on edible oil. Its performance may be affected by commodity prices, import duties, currency movements, competition, and changes in profit margins.
Investors should also compare shareholding trends across multiple quarters and check the latest P/E ratio before making an investment decision.
 

AWL Agri Business has a large edible oil business and a growing presence in packaged foods, industry essentials, and household products. Its revenue increased to ₹74,731 crore in FY26, supported by higher volumes and edible oil sales.

However, annual EBITDA and net profit declined despite revenue growth. Investors should therefore assess margins, commodity risks, valuation, shareholding trends, and the progress of the Food and FMCG segment before making a decision.
