Hatsun Agro Targets ₹10,000 Cr Revenue; Debt-Equity Ratio Improves to Under 1:1

🔵 WATCH ⭐ 7/10

MANAGEMENT 📅 20 Mar 2026, 11:05 AM

Hatsun Agro is approaching a revenue run rate of ₹10,000 crores, supported by mid-teens growth and increasing geographic diversification. The company has significantly strengthened its balance sheet, bringing the debt-equity ratio to under 1:1 from previous levels of 1:2 or 1:3. While milk procurement prices have risen by 8-10%, the company has implemented a 6% price hike to mitigate impact. Management is also navigating a 30-40% spike in packaging material costs due to global supply chain disruptions.

Revenue run rate currently at approximately ₹10,000 crores with a 14% growth trend.
Debt-Equity ratio improved to less than 1:1, down from historical levels of 1:2 or 1:3.
