Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Milk revenue grew 8.5% year-on-year in Q2 FY27, supported by a 2.5% increase in milk sales volumes to 12.35 LLPD and calibrated consumer price increases that raised average milk realisations by 6% year-on-year to INR 60.34 per litre.
VAP revenue (excluding Ghee and Butter) expanded 32% year-on-year to INR 451.00 crore, raising VAP contribution to 35.4% of total revenue compared to 31.3% in Q2 FY26.

What drove margins
Average landed milk procurement prices rose 11% year-on-year to INR 47.73 per litre during Q2 FY27, up by INR 4.74 per litre compared to Q2 FY26 due to sustained demand, limited milk arrivals, and higher feed and fodder costs.
