About Madhusudan Masala: business, products and customers

Madhusudan Masala makes and packs chilli, turmeric and coriander powders, whole spices, ready masalas and grocery items, sold to households through shops under brands such as Double Hathi. It also trades loose spices and food grains in bulk, and its shares trade on NSE Emerge.

The Double Hathi brand dates back to 1977 in Jamnagar, and the founders' partnership became a company in 2021. The company buys raw chilli, turmeric and coriander near the Jamnagar market in season, stores them in its own cold storage, then cleans, grinds, blends and packs them at Jamnagar; its subsidiary Vitagreen, bought in July 2024, makes the 77 Green blended masalas and instant mixes near Rajkot. Packs move through super stockists, distributors and wholesalers to more than 48,000 grocery shops across 11 states, with Gujarat still giving close to half of sales.

Two very different businesses sit in the same revenue line. Branded packs carry the margin; the non-branded part, about three-tenths of FY26 sales, is bulk spices and grains bought, repacked and resold with no processing, where the company says margin is thin and competition is on price alone. Much of the branded volume is also made by outside contractors, because the company sells several times its own plant capacity.

Read more about the business

Because spices are bought once a year at harvest and the company keeps many regional varieties for its taste blends, stock is high for most of the year and is funded largely by short-term bank borrowing. The company names MDH, Everest and Badshah among the major national players, and the offer document compares it with NHC Foods, a listed spice and food company.

From the offer document (prospectus, 2023), the annual reports for FY25 and FY26, the July 2026 investor presentation and earnings call, and Crisil Ratings' note of August 2025.

In its favour

  • Sales have grown fast: 32% a year over three years.
  • The promoters own a large part of the company: 70.47%.

To watch

  • Start of production at the Sanosara plant, expected around September 2026 (Annual report FY26, p.13; Transcript, July 2026, p.5).
  • Whether FY27 revenue crosses the ₹400 cr the Chairman promised, with an EBITDA margin of at least 11.5% (Transcript, July 2026, p.8).
  • Whether inventory falls toward the lower level the Chairman said is possible, with no deadline set (Transcript, July 2026, p.12).
  • The new chilli crop from November to December, which will set raw material costs for the year (Transcript, July 2026, p.8).
  • The promoters' share has come down: 70.47%, from 73.64%.

The years to FY25 come rounded to the nearest crore in the source.

Exceptional and other items: profit before tax beyond operating profit, other income, interest and depreciation, such as one-off items or a share of associates' profit, as reported.

A tax rate above 60% or below zero (FY21) comes from tax charged on a small or negative profit, as reported.

Earnings per share before FY23 is on the share count of that time, before later bonus or share issues, so it does not compare with the years after.

What the company said, and what happened

The company's own statements, attributed, set against what it later reported; not newboard's estimates

In the July 2026 call the Chairman said the company expects to cross ₹400 cr of revenue in FY27 with an EBITDA margin of at least 11.5%, and spoke of a long-term growth aim of 30% to 35% a year. The company says the 6,000 MT first phase of the Sanosara plant, for blended spices and instant mixes now made outside, should start production around September 2026, and that it aims to keep raising the branded share of sales.

Is it a good business? Six questions

Each answer is about that one question, read from the documents; tap one for the evidence. Not a view on the shares.

Madhusudan Masala earns its margin on branded spice packets made to suit local tastes, and a thinner one on bulk spices and grains it simply resells.

Its weak spots are crop prices it cannot control, a lot of money tied up in stock, and rivals who decide when prices can rise.

WatchCan it set its own prices?Only partly: it raises prices when competitors do, not when its own costs rise.
The evidence. The Chairman said the company cannot raise or cut prices alone while competitors' prices stay put, and gross margin dipped in the June 2026 quarter as chilli costs rose.Transcript, July 2026, p.10 to 11
AverageHow strong is it against rivals?A trusted regional brand and region-specific blends hold it up at home, but the industry is crowded and easy to enter.
The evidence. Double Hathi has been sold for over four decades; Crisil calls spice processing intensely competitive with low entry barriers, and the company names MDH, Everest and Badshah among national players.Crisil Ratings, rating rationale, 5 August 2025, p.1; Transcript, July 2026, p.6
StrongWho are its customers?Thousands of wholesalers and shops, with no buyer large enough to matter on its own.
The evidence. The top ten customers were 31.68% of FY23 revenue, and the network reached more than 48,000 retail stores and 6,750 wholesalers by June 2026.Offer document, p.33; Investor presentation, July 2026, p.13
WatchDoes it need a lot of money?Yes: a year's crop is bought in season and held, and old Gujarat wholesalers get long credit.
The evidence. Inventory was ₹114.5 cr and short-term borrowings ₹71.5 cr at March 2026; the Chairman said working capital depends on Gujarat credit and stock, while new regions pay in advance.Investor presentation, July 2026, p.37; Transcript, July 2026, p.15
StrongCan it keep finding new work?Sales keep widening into new states and more shoppers are moving from loose spices to packets.
The evidence. Branded sales grew 40.9% in FY26, two new states were added in the June 2026 quarter, and the company says buyers of loose spices are switching to packaged brands.Annual report FY26, p.15; Transcript, July 2026, p.4 and p.6
AverageDo good and bad years swing a lot?Households use spices every year, but the size of the chilli, turmeric and coriander crops moves costs and profit.
The evidence. Chilli was 50% to 70% of seasonal buying; Crisil notes exposure to uneven rainfall, and the company says a late monsoon was lifting commodity prices in July 2026.Annual report FY25, p.7; Crisil Ratings, rating rationale, 5 August 2025, p.1; Transcript, July 2026, p.8
