Orkla India IPO Review – Apply or not?

by Paresh Gordhandas, CA & India’s pioneer Research Analyst

Orkla India Ltd., a leading FMCG company with strong brands in packaged foods and personal care, is launching a book-built IPO of Rs. 1,667.54 crore, entirely an offer for sale. The company operates with a diversified portfolio and enjoys a robust market presence backed by its Norwegian parent, Orkla ASA.

Financially, Orkla India has shown stable performance with FY25 revenue of Rs. 2,455 crore and PAT of Rs. 256 crore, reflecting a PAT margin of 10.7% and strong ROCE of 32.7%. It operates with zero debt, indicating a solid balance sheet. At the upper price band of Rs. 730, the issue is valued at a P/E of 39.1x based on FY25 EPS of Rs. 18.67.

While valuations appear moderate compared to Tata Consumer Products (P/E 90x), the profitability and return ratios of Orkla India are far superior. With consistent margins, debt-free operations, and established brands, the IPO offers a blend of stability and long-term growth prospects.

Chanakya View: Well-managed FMCG player with healthy margins and strong parentage. Moderately priced issue — suitable for long-term investors seeking quality FMCG exposure.
