MUMBAI: Bikaji Foods has served up a piping-hot performance this quarter, with profits that are as crisp as its bhujia. The Bikaner-based snack maker reported a standalone profit of Rs 77.6 crore for the quarter ended 30 September 2025, up 23 per cent from the previous quarter, as strong festive demand and higher operational efficiency flavoured its earnings.

Expenses climbed to Rs 68,670.97 lakh, mainly due to higher material costs and expansion spending, but Bikaji still managed a tasty profit before tax of Rs 10,903.54 lakh. The company booked a tax expense of Rs 3,143.96 lakh, leaving a net profit of Rs 7,759.58 lakh.
