Main News: AWL Delivers Highest-Ever Q1 Revenue
AWL Agri Business Ltd, formerly known as Adani Wilmar Ltd, reported its highest quarterly revenue for the June quarter (Q1FY26), totaling ₹17,059 Crore. This reflects a 21% year-on-year (YoY) increase, driven mainly by strong realisations in the edible oil segment.
Despite the impressive revenue performance, the company saw a 24% YoY drop in consolidated net profit, falling to ₹237.95 Crore from ₹313.20 Crore in the same quarter last year.

Industry Essentials

Recent Developments: Group Strategy Shift

Summary: AWL Share Price Jumps on Strong Revenue Momentum
The impressive surge in AWL share price follows the company's record quarterly revenue, despite a dip in profitability. A 26% jump in edible oil revenues, strategic integration moves, and robust growth in industry essentials have positioned AWL strongly in the consumer goods space.
With total income nearing ₹64,000 Crore in the fiscal year and resilient segmental performance, AWL continues to strengthen its market position in the edible oil and FMCG sectors, driving market interest and stock movement.
