The substantial capital expenditure of ₹1,000 crore, coupled with plans for increased sales volume and new product launches, indicates a significant strategic move that will likely have a high impact on the company's future growth and market position.
The company is planning significant capital expenditure for expansion and product launches, alongside reporting strong revenue growth and projecting further increases, indicating positive future prospects.
Hatsun Agro Product Limited (HAPL), India's largest private sector dairy company, has announced plans for a significant capital expenditure (capex) of approximately ₹1,000 crore in the fiscal year 2027 (FY27). This investment is earmarked for expanding the company's milk procurement and distribution network, revamping production facilities, and bolstering marketing efforts.
The company aims to increase its daily product pack sales to 2.4 crore within the next two years, up from the current 1.84 crore packs. This expansion is supported by a robust financial performance, with HAPL posting revenues of ₹9,959 crore in FY26, a 14.5 per cent increase from the previous fiscal year. Chairman RG Chandramogan expressed optimism about FY27, projecting revenues to reach close to ₹12,000 crore if the current growth rate of 19% is sustained.
Despite industry-wide challenges like rising input costs, Hatsun Agro has managed to maintain better margins due to its unique business model, which eliminates middlemen in both procurement and distribution. The company has experienced a 13 per cent year-on-year increase in milk procurement prices, attributed to weather-related issues, higher cattle feed costs, and increased milk fat prices. Hatsun Agro strategically delayed price hikes to allow costs to stabilize, rather than passing on increases immediately.
In addition to expanding its core operations, Hatsun Agro is set to launch a new range of protein-rich drinks within the next one to two months. The company is also developing new ice cream variants and chocolate products. Hatsun Agro currently operates approximately 4,100 HAP Daily outlets and 220 Ibaco outlets, with plans to increase its total store presence to over 5,000 by the end of the financial year.
