Foods & Inns Ltd. has submitted its financial results for the second quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2024. The results show a 28% decline in sales to ₹157.97 crore, attributed to decreased demand in both domestic and export markets. Notably, sales tonnage dropped by 24%, with exports down by 22%. The company recorded a net profit of ₹11.75 crore for the quarter, down from ₹13.45 crore YoY. Despite challenges due to unseasonal weather and container availability, the company anticipates improvement in the second half, particularly in fruit and vegetable processing.

Investors should watch closely for changes in demand trends and operational capacity utilization as the business adapts to market conditions.
