2. RESULT OF OPERATIONS AND STATE OF
COMPANY'S AFFAIRS:

For years, we have shared the authentic taste of India with
the world. As a renowned manufacturer of premium ethnic
snacks, we take pride in blending traditional heritage
with modern excellence. Our offerings span six principal
categories from our flagship Bikaneri Bhujia, which carries
the legacy of our brand, to our curated range of Namkeen,
Packaged Sweets, Papad, Western Snacks and other
snacks. At the heart of our success is our signature Bikaneri
Bhujia, a product synonymous with uncompromising quality
and time-honored tradition.

This dedication to quality has earned us the continued
trust of our customers. Reflecting our sustained growth
and performance, we continue to feature among the top
500 companies by market capitalization, as ranked by BSE
Limited ("
BSE") and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
("
NSE"). This reflects our journey of robust growth and our
steadfast commitment to the stakeholders who make our
success possible.

STRATEGIC EXPANSION AND DIVERSIFICATION:

To drive sustained growth, diversification and strengthen
our market presence, your Board of Directors are pleased
to share that the Company has undertaken several strategic
initiatives, aimed at expanding our product offerings,

boosting operational capacity and deepening our customer
outreach. These steps are in alignment with the Company's
long-term vision of innovation, market leadership and
sustainable growth.

Your Company continues to strengthen its market
leadership through the following strategic expansion and
diversification initiatives undertaken during the year:

Strategic Expansion: A Landmark Partnership in
Nepal

On July 23, 2025, your Company's Board of Directors
has approved the execution of the Joint Venture cum
Shareholders' Agreement to be entered with Nepal's
leading conglomerate Chaudhary Group (CG)', for
establishing a 50:50 joint venture in Nepal, which is a
landmark step in our international journey. This isn't
just a business agreement; it is a union of two regional
powerhouses. By combining Bikaji's deep-rooted legacy
in ethnic snacks with CG's unmatched market expertise,
we are set to redefine the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods
("
FMCG") landscape in Nepal.

To ensure our Nepalese consumers enjoy the freshest, most
authentic snacks and sweets, we will be co-investing in a state-
of-the-art manufacturing facility. By producing locally, we will
significantly reduce turnaround time, ensuring that the "Bikaji
crunch" reaches every home with maximum freshness.

This venture is a cornerstone of our long-term global strategy. The
Company aims to strengthen its brand presence in Nepal, cater to
local consumer preferences through local manufacturing. By uniting
our heritage with the CG's local strength, we aren't just crossing a
border, we are building a lasting bond with the people of Nepal.

Strategic Brand Evolution: The New Identity - A Tribute to
Rajasthani Heritage and Modern Progress

Inspired by Bikaji's deep-rooted Rajasthani heritage, our new
visual identity is anchored by a distinctive royal shield. This
emblem symbolizes the trust, legacy and pride that have defined
the brand since its inception. The logo's upper curve subtly echoes
the silhouette of a traditional Rajasthani turban, symbolizing
honor and our culture of warm hospitality. Complementing
this, the fluid lines mirror the golden sand dunes of Bikaner,
serving as a timeless tribute to our origins while signaling our
momentum toward modern progress.

“Kya Baat Hai Ji" - Redefining the Joy of Snacking

At Bikaji, we believe that the best stories are told over a bowl of
namkeen. Our new integrated brand campaign,
"Kya Baat Hai
Ji!”,
featuring the celebrated Bollywood icon Pankaj Tripathi,
is a tribute to those everyday moments that become brighter,
smoother and more delightful with our snacks.

Choosing Mr. Pankaj Tripathi as the face of this campaign
was a strategic decision rooted in authenticity. His versatility,
finesse and grounded charm resonate deeply with the spirit of
Uttar Pradesh, a region where food, culture, and tradition are
inextricably intertwined. By aligning our brand with a personality
who embodies the values of the heartland, we have created a
narrative that feels personal, relatable and authentically local.

This campaign is more than a marketing milestone; it is our
strategic doorway into the hearts of consumers across Uttar
Pradesh. With a rich legacy of namkeen and an even richer food
culture, Uttar Pradesh represents a vital frontier for our
" Har
Ghar Bikaji'
vision. Through this initiative, the Company aims to
deepen brand engagement and further its vision of making Bikaji
a preferred household snack brand across India.

Expansion into the Bakery Category:

On November 11, 2025, in another significant move towards growth,
diversification and expansion of the Company's portfolio, your
Company's Board of Directors approved the execution of Joint
Venture cum Shareholders Agreement on a 70:30 joint venture
basis with veteran expert Mr. Thayekunni Khaleel, a distinguished
industry veteran, visionary entrepreneur, and the Founder of the
renowned bakery brand Bakemart', whose decades of experience,
deep domain expertise, and pioneering contributions have
significantly shaped the bakery and confectionery industry.

Bikaji's strong brand equity, extensive distribution network and
consumer reach with the proven manufacturing capabilities,
product innovation expertise and entrepreneurial legacy of
Mr. Khaleel is expected to unlock new growth opportunities in
the rapidly expanding bakery category, enhancing the Company's
diversified food portfolio, and reinforcing its long-term vision
of building a comprehensive, future-ready food products
enterprise, thereby creating sustainable value for shareholders
and other stakeholders.

Strengthening Market Presence: Quick Service Restaurants
(QSR) Expansion:

As we look to the future, we are constantly evolving to meet
the changing needs of our patrons. In a move to bring our
commitment to quality into the daily lives of our customers, we
have entered the Quick Service Restaurant ("
QSR”) space.

Following the successful launch of our first Quick Service
Restaurant (QSR) outlet, we will further expand our footprint
with the launch of additional outlets. This initiative is more
than just a business expansion; it is a way for us to offer fresh,
high-quality and convenient meals in a fast-paced dining
environment, perfectly complementing the snacks you have
loved for generations.

•    STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The financial year 2025-26 has been a period of strategic
growth and resilient performance for the Company. We

The Company's performance was supported by our focused
strategic initiatives, including route-to-market efficiencies,
targeted geographical expansion and disciplined cost
management initiatives. These efforts have successfully
driven growth while strengthening our operational
efficiencies, leading to substantial value creation for our
shareholders. This growth is particularly significant as it
was achieved despite temporary volatility in commodity
prices that exerted upward pressure on our input costs.

This performance underscores the resilience of our business
model and our ability to drive sustained value for our
shareholders, even in a fluctuating economic environment.

•    CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The Consolidated Financial Statement for the financial
year 2025-26 have been prepared in strict adherence
with the provisions of Section 133 of the Companies Act,

year's Revenue from Operations of
H 2,61,676.53 Lakh. Even
as we expanded, we remained focused on the bottom line.
Our Profit After Tax (PAT) reached at
H 25,440.98 Lakh,
marking a notable 30.98% increase over the previous year's
PAT of
H 19,424.12 Lakh.

This steady climb is not just a number; it is a direct result
of our team's dedicated efforts in exploring new markets
and diversifying where we do business. We are successfully
planting flags in new territories and identifying fresh
avenues for growth.

While these figures provide a snapshot of our performance,
they represent only part of the overall narrative. For a

Bench ("

consolidation of operations, realization of synergies
and acceleration of growth.

Further, the Scheme of Amalgamation was sanctioned
by Hon'ble NCLT on June 06, 2025. The certified true

Registrar of Companies, Jaipur, Rajasthan on June 30,

Consequent to the same, Vindhyawasini Sales Private

ceased to exist as a separate legal entity. As a result,
all shares issued by the Transferor Company stood

date was April 01, 2024. In accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards ("
Ind AS") 103 - Business

the amalgamation has been accounted for using
the pooling of interest method. Accordingly, the
comparative figures for the quarter, half year and
year ended March 31, 2025, have been restated to give
effect to the amalgamation and are presented solely
to reflect its impact in line with Ind AS 103.

H.    DIVESTMENT IN BIKAJI MEGA FOOD PARK

As part of our ongoing commitment to optimizing
the Company's corporate structure and focusing
resources on core growth drivers, the Board of
Directors, at their meeting held on May 15, 2025,
approved the divestment of the Company's entire stake
in Bikaji Mega Food Park Private Limited (
"BMFPPL”).

BMFPPL was a non-material subsidiary of the
Company and had remained inactive, with no
immediate plans for the commencement of its

divested its entire equity stake of 51% in BMFPPL.

Consequently, upon the completion of this transaction,
BMFPPL ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company.
This move reflects our disciplined approach to
capital allocation, ensuring that management's focus
remains entirely on high-potential, value-accretive
business segments, dedicated to long-term value

3.    TRANSFER TO RESERVES:

Your Company has not transferred any amount to any

designed to strike a prudent balance between rewarding

and availability of adequate funds for continued expansion.

In line with the Policy and commitment to creating enduring
value, the Board of Directors, at their meeting held on May
21, 2026, recommended a Final Dividend of

facets of our operations.

 

In our ongoing quest for excellence, Bikaji has developed
and systematically implemented sustainable systems and
robust processes that safeguard the integrity of food safety
and hygiene at every level. Our highly skilled specialized
Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) teams have
intensified their focus on quality assurance of products
across geographies and ensured process excellence,
harmonization, and the implementation of customized
quality guidelines. The team actively drives continuous
improvements by conducting comprehensive, rigorous
evaluations, at every stage - from incoming raw materials
to in-process controls and final product assessments.
For operational excellence, we recently upgraded our
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform from
Microsoft Dynamics to SAP.

This transition is aimed at:

•    Enhancing traceability and quality control transparency;

•    Fostering accountability with swift dissemination of
results to all stakeholders; and

•    Standardizing the processes across all units to ensure
uniform product with consistent quality.

Signifying our unyielding commitment to quality and food
safety, we conduct both internal and external audits of our
manufacturing facilities and management systems, at regular
intervals. These audits are carried out in strict compliance
with the regulatory requirements as well as internationally
recognized frameworks and standards such as Food Safety
and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), Export Inspection
Council (EIC), Agriculture and Processed Food Products
Export Development Authority (APEDA), as well as Food Safety
Management System (FSMS), Brand Reputation Compliance
Global Standards (BRCGS) and Quality Management System
(QMS). This rigorous approach ensures our alignment with
global standards and compliance with all the pertinent
regulations governing the production, storage, distribution
and labeling of food products. Furthermore, Bikaji complies
with the requirements of the Food Safety and Standards Act,
2006, and all other relevant Legal Metrology requirements by
adhering to international quality standards and certifications.
This underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest
levels of regulatory compliance and delivers the products of
highest caliber to its consumers.

To further solidify our commitment to excellence, your
Company fully adheres to internationally recognized quality
standard certifications, including ISO 22000, BRCGS,
APEDA, EIC and HALAL. By prioritizing these practices, we
consistently deliver excellent food products that not only
meet, but exceed, the highest standards for safety, quality
and consumer satisfaction.

Through the steady application of these industry-leading
practices, Bikaji assures all the stakeholders including
investors, customers and regulatory bodies that we
remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of
quality, delivering products of exceptional excellence, and
contributing to the trust and value that defines our brand.

35. SUSTAINABILITY:

At Bikaji we believe that true growth is measured by the
footprint we leave behind, sustainability is not an adjunct to
our business; it is the core of our operations, driving every
decision and shaping our long-term vision. We recognize
the profound responsibility we hold as a responsible
business in the FMCG division and the vital importance of
minimizing our environmental footprint, while, maximizing
value for our stakeholders. We are committed to integrating
sustainable practices that not only benefit the environment,
but, also, contribute to the well-being of the communities
we serve. Our sustainability journey is grounded in the
principles of resource efficiency, innovation, environmental
stewardship and social responsibility, ensuring that we
create lasting value and more sustainable future for all
our stakeholders.

I.    Decarbonizing Our Energy Matrix

We are aggressively transitioning our manufacturing
facilities toward a low-carbon future by minimizing
reliance on non-renewable resources, through the
adoption of renewable energy and energy-efficient
practices. By incorporating Bio-Gas across various
aspects of our manufacturing processes, we have
transformed a traditional waste stream into a clean
energy source.

We continue to enhance our green energy share
by adding to our existing solar infrastructure.
We are currently in the process of installing an
additional 1.5 MW rooftop solar power plant and 6
MW ground mounted solar power plant in Bikaner,
Rajasthan. By harnessing Rajasthan's vast solar
potential, we are shielding our operations from grid
instability while fulfilling our commitment to clean,
decentralized power.

Beyond these initiatives, the Company continues
to explore and implement innovative technologies,
process optimization measures and energy-efficiency
interventions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and enhancing resource efficiency across
its operations.

II.    Ecological Stewardship and Biodiversity

Our responsibility extends beyond the factory walls.
Through targeted Plantation Initiatives, both at our
operational sites and in surrounding communities,
we are actively restoring local ecosystems. These
reforestation programs do more than just offset
carbon; they improve air quality and foster a culture
of environmental consciousness within our host
communities. These Tree-Planting Programs serve
not only to enrich the natural environment, but, also,
to foster a sense of responsibility and community
engagement, aligning with our broader environmental
goals and commitment to CSR.

III.    Water Neutrality:

Water is a precious resource, and at Bikaji, by
deploying advanced Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)

and Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), we ensure
that every drop of water is recovered, treated and
repurposed, effectively eliminating environmental
discharge. This reflects our ongoing commitment to
ESG goals and proactive approach to environmental
stewardship and resource conservation.

During the year under review, an ambitious and
innovative project to establish a state-of-the-art
wastewater treatment plant became operational.
This facility currently enables us to recycle and
reuse approximately 80,000 Litres of water per day,
significantly reducing our reliance on freshwater
resources. We are steadily scaling up these operations,
with a target to reach a recycling capacity of 3,00,000
Litres per day in the coming months thereby setting a
new benchmark for sustainable water management
in the industry. The plant employes advanced
methodologies and sustainable practices to treat and
re-cycle wastewater, ensuring minimal environmental
footprint while reinforcing our commitment to
contribute to broader water conservation efforts.

To lead the ethnic snack industry not just in taste and
scale, but in our unwavering commitment to a greener,
more resilient world. We are proud of the progress
we have made and remain committed to advancing
our sustainability agenda, delivering long-term value
for our stakeholders and setting a benchmark for
responsible corporate practices in the industry.

36. HUMAN RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS:

At Bikaji, we recognize that our competitive advantage is
not just in our recipes, but in our people, as we consistently
upheld the belief that our employees are the greatest
strength and foundation of the Company's success and
sustainable growth. Their dedication, innovation, passion
and commitment to excellence form the bedrock of
our achievements.

During the period under review, in our pursuit of operational
excellence, your Company has successfully implemented
Darwinbox, a cloud-based Human Capital Management
(HCM) platform, to digitize and streamline our end-to-end
HR ecosystem. This transition marks a significant milestone
in our journey toward a "paperless" and data-driven
workplace. By leveraging this mobile-first technology,
we have enhanced employee self-service capabilities,
simplified recruitment and onboarding, and integrated
real-time performance tracking. This digital leap not only
improves administrative efficiency but also provides us with
actionable insights into workforce analytics, ensuring that
our HR strategies remain agile, transparent and aligned
with our rapid organizational scaling.

During the year, the Company rolled out a range of strategic
programs aimed at fostering a dynamic environment that

supports a high-performance culture while promoting
inclusivity, respect, empathy and personal growth.
These initiatives are crafted to enhance professional
competencies and empower our employees to realize
their full potential, aligning individual milestones with the
overarching strategic goals of the Company.

As of March 31, 2026, our workforce comprises 3,040
permanent employees, representing a diverse group
drawn from a wide array of social, economic and
geographic backgrounds. This diversity is a vital source
of strength, enabling us to tackle challenges with fresh
perspectives and innovative solutions. We continue to

within a meritocratic environment; optimizing employee
potential, increasing productivity and fostering a culture of
continuous improvement.

To sustain our market leadership, we anchor our talent
strategy in a rigorous, 5P Framework built on 5 key pillars.

39.    ADEQUACY OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL
WITH REFERENCE TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS:

The Company maintains a robust and comprehensive
internal financial control framework, meticulously tailored
to align with the scale, complexity and strategic imperatives
of its business operations. These controls are designed
with the primary objective of safeguarding stakeholders'
interests, ensuring operational efficiency, and proactively
mitigating financial and operational risks. At the core of
this system is an unwavering commitment to integrity,
transparency and ethical conduct, which remains deeply
embedded into the Company's work culture.

Our multi-layered control span entity-level governance,
process-level safeguards and IT-integrated controls. These
mechanisms work in concert to ensure the accuracy,
reliability and completeness of the financial records. We
conduct regular and rigorous evaluations of these controls
throughout the year, and the results consistently affirm their
effectiveness in preventing fraud, minimizing errors, and
ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of financial reporting.

As the Company continues to scale its operations, we have
increasingly integrated technology-driven controls into
our financial and operational processes. Our Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) systems are configured with

robust access controls and automated validation checks,
ensuring data integrity at every touchpoint.

To further bolster the internal control framework, the
Company has also engaged a renowned and independent
firm of Chartered Accountants, in addition to the Internal
Auditor. This offers an impartial evaluation of the internal
control systems, providing the Audit Committee with critical
insights and actionable recommendations for continuous
improvement. This independent scrutiny, coupled with our
rigorous internal audit processes, provides reasonable
assurance to the Joint Statutory Auditors, regarding the
accuracy, integrity, reliability and transparency of the
Company's financial reporting.

Our internal financial control systems are fully compliant
with the Ind AS, the Act, Securities and Exchange Board
of India (SEBI) Regulations and other relevant legislative
frameworks. By ensuring strict adherence to these
standards, the Company reinforces its commitment to
upholding the highest standards of corporate governance
and regulatory compliance.

For a comprehensive understanding of the internal financial
controls, including their effectiveness and alignment
with the Company's strategic goals, please refer to the
Management Discussion and Analysis Report, which forms
an integral part of this Annual Report.

40. ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY (EHS):

The Company remains steadfast in its commitment
to upholding the highest standards of environmental
sustainability and ensuring the health and safety of all
employees and stakeholders, across all aspects of our
operations. In strict adherence to regulatory frameworks,
licenses and certifications, we ensure that every facet of our
business operations complies with the most stringent and
rigorous requirements. Our comprehensive Environment,
Health and Safety Policy prioritize the well-being of our
workforce, including employees, contractors and all those
who interact with our operations through robust healthcare
benefits, specialized technical training, and consistent
guidance on occupational health and safety. By fostering a
secure and supportive working environment, we ensure that
safety is not just a protocol, but a core organizational value.

Recognizing the global challenge of plastic waste, your
Company has proactively mitigated its environmental
footprint through strategic compliance and innovation. We
strictly adhere to the Plastic Waste Management Rules,
2016, and have pioneered technology-driven solutions
for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Through a
strategic partnership with a digital-first EPR provider, we
have streamlined our recovery and recycling obligations,
effectively managing the end-of-life cycle of our packaging
materials in a manner that aligns with both regulatory
standards and global sustainability targets and minimizing
environmental impact, contributing to a circular economy.

The Company has taken significant strides in resource
preservation through the implementation of advanced
wastewater treatment solutions. During the year under
review, our state-of-the-art wastewater treatment
plant was successfully commissioned and is currently
operational. The facility is presently recycling and reusing
approximately 80,000 litres of water per day, marking
a critical step in reducing our reliance on freshwater
resources. As we continue to optimize and scale our
treatment methodologies, we aim to increase this
capacity to 3,00,000 litres per day in the coming years,
reinforcing our long-term commitment to national water
conservation efforts.

At Bikaji, the commitment to a zero-harm environment
remains a cornerstone of our operational excellence.
Our safety strategy was driven by a proactive three-
pillar framework: infrastructure upgrades, behavioural
awareness, and response readiness. We prioritized
upgrading facility hardware to mitigate physical risks,
coupled with the strict enforcement of mandatory PPE
across all operational zones. To ensure 360-degree
protection, we maintained 24/7 ambulance access and
continuous first-aid support across every facility.

We believe that the best safety protocols are those
owned and enacted by our people. Throughout the year,
we conducted numerous specialized safety training
sessions, ranging from mock drills, firefighting, first-aid,
to threat identification and specialized technical handling.
Recognizing the evolving nature of modern risks, we also
integrated Cyber Security awareness into our training
modules to ensure the resilience of our digital and physical
infrastructure. Our management and operational leads
engage in regular site inspections and safety reviews
to identify potential hazards and implement proactive,
preventative solutions. By empowering our employees to
act as safety ambassadors, we have moved beyond simple
compliance toward a self-sustaining culture of vigilance
and mutual care.

Our annual Safety Week served as a high-impact platform
to reinvigorate our collective commitment. The event
featured interactive workshops, emergency simulations
and recognition programs to reward safety champions.
Through targeted training and the Safety Week initiatives,
we empowered our workforce to move beyond simple
compliance toward a proactive, "safety-first" mindset.

These initiatives underscore the Company's unwavering
dedication to sustainability, environmental responsibility,
workplace safety and responsible business practices.
We continue to lead by example in the FMCG segment,
proving that it is not only possible but essential to integrate
sustainability into every aspect of our operations. Through
these actions, we continue to create long-term value for
our stakeholders and investors, while contributing to global
goals of resource conservation.

Looking ahead, your Company remains steadfast in
its commitment to driving positive change through
innovation, responsible production and a relentless focus
on sustainability. We remain dedicated to further reducing
our environmental footprint, elevating our health and safety

standards, and creating enduring value for all stakeholders
who have entrusted us with their support.

framework is not merely a compliance requirement but
a strategic imperative that underpins sustainable value
creation. By integrating risk consciousness into the DNA
of our corporate strategy, we ensure that the Company
remains resilient against market volatilities while
safeguarding the long-term interests of our stakeholders.
To this end, we have implemented a comprehensive and
dynamic risk management framework to embed robust
financial, operational and compliance controls into our core
business processes, ensuring the pro-active identification,
assessment and mitigation of risks across all the levels
of operations, which is designed to transform potential
vulnerabilities into informed strategic choices.

The Risk Management Committee ("RMC”), operating under
the direct oversight of the Board, serves as the primary
architect of our risk strategy. The RMC is entrusted with the
critical end-to-end responsibility of formulating, executing,
implementing and continuously monitoring the Company's
risk management framework. To ensure a 360-degree view
of the risk landscape, the Audit Committee provides a critical

secondary layer of oversight, specifically focusing on internal
financial controls and the integrity of reporting systems. This
dual committee structure ensures that risk management
practices are embedded at every level of the organization, from
shop-floor operations to boardroom deliberations, thereby
enhancing the robustness of our risk management system.

Our risk management approach is designed to pro-actively
identify and address risks that could potentially impact the
Company's strategic objectives, reputation, operational
continuity, financial integrity, and regulatory compliance.
The Company systematically evaluates and prioritizes these
risks, ensuring that potential threats are swiftly addressed
through well-defined mitigation plans. This approach
ensures that the Company remains agile and responsive
to both external and internal risks, enabling it to maintain
business continuity and strategic momentum.

Beyond policies and committees, the Company is committed
to fostering a 'Risk-Aware Culture' across all departments.
We believe that effective risk management is a collective
responsibility, therefore, we invest in regular training and
communication to empower our employees to identify and
escalate potential risks in real-time.

The Risk Management Policy (“RM Policy”) serves as the
cornerstone of our governance framework. It provides a
structured methodology for risk reporting and establishes clear
protocols for managing uncertainties at various organizational
tiers. To ensure continued relevance, the RM Policy is
periodically reviewed against global industry standards and
shifting market dynamics. In our commitment to transparency,
the RM Policy is publicly accessible on the Company's
website at
https://www.bikaii.com/governance#policies,
demonstrating the Company's commitment to transparency,
accountability and best practices in risk management.

Bikaji remains vigilant in monitoring the horizon for
emerging risks, specifically in the realms of cybersecurity,
supply chain resilience and environmental sustainability.
By staying ahead of regulatory shifts and technological
disruptions, the Company is well-positioned to navigate
uncertainties. This forward-thinking approach enables us
to seize growth opportunities and deliver consistent value
to our investors, reinforcing Bikaji's reputation as a resilient
and future-ready enterprise.
