Commenting on the performance, Managing Director of Dodla Dairy, Mr. Dodla Sunil Reddy said,

“I am happy to share with you that Dodla Dairy’s revenues surpassed the milestone of ₹ 30,000 million in FY24 reflecting the management’s continuous effort towards higher procurement, widening distribution and curated focus towards Value Added Products (VAP). The Company’s EBITDA margin expanded by 244 bps YoY to 9.2% in FY24 benefitting from the flush season coupled with higher VAP sales. We continue to expand our procurement network by increasing our chilling centres and creating small collection centres near villages. This has resulted our procurement to grow by 21.2% YoY to 16.8 Lakh Liter Per Day (LLPD) in FY24. The Company’s VAP and Fat & Fat products revenue pie expanded by 143 bps YoY to 28.3% of the total revenues in FY24. Dodla Dairy’s VAP sales grew by 16.3% YoY to ₹ 7,408 million in FY24 as result of higher penetration due to several brand connecting activities amongst consumers, robust distribution network and strong brand recall value.”

He also added , “During Q4FY24, the Company has commenced the commercial production of its new dairy plant of 1,00,000 liters per day at Kenya. The aforesaid capacity is expected to add incremental revenues towards our Africa segment revenues in the coming years. Additionally, Orgafeed’s (cattle feed business) capacity has been exponentially enhanced by 5 times to 480 Metric Tonnes per Day (MTPD) during FY24. It strengthens the ties with our dairy farmers resulting higher productivity and profitability. The management
