1. At a Glance
Bikaji just posted a chatpata Q1: 14% YoY revenue growth, 15% EBITDA margin, and ₹585 Cr in profit (PAT). But at 101x P/E, it’s not just your snacks that are crunchy — it’s the valuation too. The bhujia is hot, but is your wallet getting fried?
2. Introduction with Hook
Imagine walking into a snack aisle and finding Bhujia priced like Birkin bags. That’s Bikaji — where desi flavours meet Nifty ambitions.
Two juicy bites:
Stock P/E: 101x. No typo.
Q1 FY26 Revenue: ₹652 Cr, up 14.2% YoY

Think of Bikaji as the Mukesh Ambani of namkeen.
35,588 tonnes of Bikaneri Bhujia every year (you read that right)
