The consideration may be paid in cash or through issue of NHC Foods equity shares at Rs. 6.50 per share. The price may also be determined after six months in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The proposed acquisitions are expected to strengthen the Company's procurement and distribution capabilities and complement its existing business across the food and beverage value chain. Lotmor Brands Private Limited brings an established food and beverage business with capabilities across trading and manufacturing. Incorporated in 2018, the company recorded turnover of Rs. 2.46 crore in FY23 and Rs. 2.60 crore in FY24, while turnover stood at Rs. 1.80 crore in FY25. With its established operations and positive cash flows, Lotmor can add complementary capabilities to NHC Foods' business while providing a platform for further expansion.

After reporting no turnover in FY23, the company recorded turnover of Rs. 0.71 crore in FY24 and Rs. 0.22 crore in FY25. Its presence across the food and beverage segment can further broaden NHC Foods' product and market reach. Mr. Satyam Shirishchandra Joshi, Managing Director of NHC Foods Limited, said, “Our approach with these proposed acquisitions is to build on what we already have rather than operate these businesses in isolation. We are looking to bring complementary businesses into the NHC Foods ecosystem and create stronger linkages between sourcing, processing, distribution and the end market. This gives us the opportunity to participate in a wider part of the food business while making better use of our existing capabilities and relationships. We believe this approach can also provide a more scalable base for the Company's next phase of expansion.” India’s carbonated beverage market is projected to reach ₹2.0 Lakh Crore by FY 2027- 28, growing at an 11% CAGR. Through these acquisitions, NHC Foods is strategically positioned at the intersection of food, innovation, and nostalgia. Lotmor Brands has already established a robust footprint across more than 20 states and 22,000 retail outlets, including partnerships with Reliance Smart, D'Mart, and leading quick commerce platforms. By integrating Lotmor’s capital-efficient manufacturing model and extensive product portfolio into NHC Foods' established corporate framework, the combined entity aims to rapidly expand its presence to over 700 modern trade stores and grow its distributor network to over 400 partners. Alongside the proposed acquisitions, the Board has appointed Mr. Suryakant Dhondu Walavalkar as Additional Director, designated as Executive Director, effective September 16, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. Walavalkar, Founder and Managing Director of Lotmor Brands, brings over 28 years of experience across modern trade, distribution and supply chain management. NHC Foods has also recently entered into a binding Heads of Terms for a proposed manufacturing facility in Liberia and strengthened its capital base through a Rs. 53.76 crore preferential issue of convertible warrants and conversion of 19 Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds into 18.18 crore equity shares. The Company has also delivered a strong improvement in its financial performance in Q1FY27. Consolidated net profit rose 924% year on year, supported by higher revenue and volumes during the quarter.
