Narmada Agrobase Q1FY26 concall decoded: – Gaay Chhaap, margins fattened, and cattle capitalism

Opening Hook

India may be debating lab-grown meat, but cattle feed makers like Narmada Agrobase are quietly milking the real opportunity—literally. In Q1FY26, the company posted EBITDA margins of 14.5%, up 1,140 bps YoY (Q1 FY26 concall). For a feed manufacturer, that’s like getting extra cream without adding more milk. Why it matters? Because dairy demand in India keeps swelling, and someone has to feed the cows powering that ₹10 trillion industry. The question now: can Narmada scale from being a Gujarat-rooted brand to a pan-India (and export-friendly) cattle nutrition player? Stick around—things get spicier two scrolls down.

At a Glance

  • Income ₹11.4 cr – Steady, not flashy.
  • EBITDA ₹1.65 cr – Up 82% QoQ; margins now look protein-rich.
  • PAT ₹1.02 cr – 31% QoQ growth; no “grazing losses.”
  • Exports target 15–20% – Management sniffing Vietnam & Africa.
  • Capacity 4,000 tpm – But using only 50%.
