AWL Agri Business Delivers Mixed Q1—Quick Commerce Soars 75% Even as Volumes Dip

AWL Agri Business Ltd has released its Q1 FY26 business update, showcasing a dynamic performance across segments. While overall volumes declined 4% YoY, the company posted a 21% revenue growth, driven by higher realizations in edible oils and a 75% YoY surge in quick commerce sales.

 

The branded exports division also delivered a strong performance, with volume growth of 22% and revenue crossing ₹3 billion, reflecting robust demand in key international markets. However, the edible oils segment saw a 2% volume decline, largely due to pricing pressure in palm oil, and the Food & FMCG segment reported a 2% revenue dip YoY.

 

Despite the volume softness, AWL’s strategic pivot toward premiumization, digital channels, and export-led growth helped offset margin pressures. The company’s quick commerce channel—powered by dark store partnerships—emerged as a standout, contributing significantly to topline momentum.
