TAPIFRUIT - Tapi Fruit
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Standalone revenue from operations decreased by 16.74% to INR 17,49,760.90 Hundred in FY 2024-25, primarily due to a production halt for over a month. Consolidated revenue fell 9.41% to INR 20,18,862.53 Hundred. The FMCG segment, including jams and jellies, remains the primary revenue driver.
Profitability Margins
Standalone Net Profit Margin declined significantly from -1.20% to -8.99% in FY 2024-25. Operating Profit Margin also dropped from -1.15% to -8.88%. These declines were driven by fixed costs remaining high despite a 16.74% drop in revenue during machinery installation.
EBITDA Margin
Standalone EBITDA margin turned negative, with EBITDA falling from a profit of INR 47,622.81 Hundred in FY 2023-24 to a loss of INR 68,061.28 Hundred in FY 2024-25, representing a total swing of 242.9% due to operational disruptions.
Capital Expenditure
Total Standalone assets increased by 45.2% to INR 21,29,090.29 Hundred in FY 2024-25. This reflects significant investment in new machinery and infrastructure upgrades for GMP and AYUSH certification to support a 333% increase in jam production capacity.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The Debt Equity Ratio increased by 268.75% to 0.59:1.00 in FY 2024-25 due to increased total debt. Interest Coverage Ratio fell to -5.67 times from 9.91 times, indicating that current earnings are insufficient to cover interest costs of INR 9,383.15 Hundred.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Fruit pulp, sugar, and chemicals for jam and jelly base products. Cost of materials consumed was INR 13,06,499.51 Hundred, representing 74.6% of standalone revenue.
Import Sources
Not specifically named, but the company identifies currency risk associated with imports as a major risk factor, suggesting international sourcing of certain additives or specialized ingredients.
Capacity Expansion
Fruit Jam capacity is expanding from 15 MT per month (100% utilization) to 65 MT per month by April 2026. Tomato Ketchup capacity is expanding from 10 MT per month (100% utilization) to 35 MT per month by April 2026.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs decreased by 11.23% YoY to INR 13,06,499.51 Hundred, but increased as a percentage of revenue to 74.6% from 70.0% in the previous year, indicating higher relative input costs or lower pricing power.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Capacity utilization for both Jam and Ketchup was at 100% prior to expansion. Shifting to new machinery is intended to achieve economies of scale and lower the cost per product.
Logistics & Distribution
The company utilizes distributors, modern trade, and direct sale channels. Revenue recognition is tied to the transfer of control to these customers, involving high transaction volumes across the distribution network.
Strategic Growth
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved through a 333% expansion in Fruit Jam capacity and a 250% expansion in Tomato Ketchup capacity by April 2026. The company is also pursuing GMP and AYUSH certifications to enter regulated markets and has launched new nutraceutical products to diversify revenue streams.

Competitive Landscape
The company faces 'unfair competition' in the jam and jelly market, which pressures margins and necessitates a shift toward higher-value nutraceutical products.
Competitive Moat
The company is building a moat through infrastructure compliance (GMP/AYUSH) and moving toward automated production to achieve cost leadership via economies of scale.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
The company is sensitive to pandemic-related demand shifts (COVID-19 resurgence risk) and inflationary pressures on raw material costs.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing demand for quality-certified food and health-oriented (nutraceutical) products is driving the company's infrastructure and product line pivots.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers and currency volatility are identified as risks that could materially impact cash flow and growth prospects.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations

Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the successful ramp-up of the new 50 MT/month jam capacity and 25 MT/month ketchup capacity by April 2026 to offset the current net loss of INR 1,43,153.61 Hundred.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on distributors and modern trade channels for revenue generation across the FMCG network.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is mitigating technology risk by replacing manual intervention with automated production lines to improve profitability.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Standalone Debtors Turnover Ratio remained relatively stable at 12.74 times, suggesting consistent collection efficiency despite the production halt.
