Under its own brand it makes retort curries, rice dishes, noodles and bowls, supplying natural food chains and other retailers in Western markets. On the foodservice side it supplies restaurant chains with ingredients such as burger patties, pizza sauce and toppings, gravies, paneer and frozen snacks.
Because it has long produced to export specifications, it has deep experience with restrictions on ingredients and additives, labeling, and handling audits.
Revenue for FY2026 (fiscal year ended March 2026) was ₹547.78 crore, down about 1% from the year before, while net income rose 37.8% to ₹35.30 crore. On the Japanese connection, there was a period from 2014 when Kagome, together with ASG-OMNI, held shares in the parent company, but the two sold them to Mars in 2017, so the current parent is Mars.
As a plant that can produce to Western specifications, it is a candidate when looking for retort pouch OEM production for the Japanese market. Since it already makes foodservice ingredients for restaurant chains, it is also easy to approach about semi-finished goods such as sauces and patties.
