Dodla Sunil Reddy, Managing Director of Dodla Dairy, said: “I am pleased to share that for the second time in a row, our company has reported its highest ever quarterly revenue with a 29.9% growth on a yoy basis for Q2FY25. Additionally, in the quarter, our VAP sales rose by 93.5% to Rs 3,779 million, primarily due to the higher sale of Butter and Skimmed milk Powder. With the continuation of flush season, the quarter also remained strong for us in terms of milk procurement, which stood at 17.2 LLPD.
I would like to update you that the company has declared an interim dividend of Rs 3.00 per equity share; this is our first ever dividend since listing.
Strategically, Dodla is committed to working alongside its farmers to create an efficient manufacturing process and supply chain network. In line with this strategy, the company has acquired a land parcel of 35 acres in Maharashtra for its expansion plans. This will eventually help us in improving operational efficiency and expanding the product basket.
Our balance sheet position continues to remain strong, providing optionality and flexibility for the potential investments in the future towards organic as well as inorganic growth.”
