Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar (Exports) IPO

About the company

Incorporated in 2003, Amar Chand Jagdish Kumar (Imports) is a processor and exporter of basmati rice and other FMCG products. All products of the company are marketed under the main brand Aeroplane and over 40 sub-brands, including Aeroplane La-Taste, Ali Baba and World Cup. The company has developed a solid amount of intellectual property, including 100 registered trademarks (70 registered in India and 30 registered in 26 countries) and 22 registered copyrights in India, which helps to strengthen its position in both domestic and international markets. The company has three manufacturing units located in Amritsar, Safidon & New Delhi, which produce 277,908 MT (50.46% utilization) against the installed capacity of 550,800 MT per annum. The utilisation is increased to 50.46% in FY25 from 32.44% in FY23. All manufacturing plants are located in India and equipped with imported equipment. The company is also ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP certified. It has 325 procurement agents, who accounted for approximately 96.76% of total purchases during FY25. The top 10 agents accounted for 50.90% of the company's total procurement. Since procurement is seasonal, the company has a storage capacity of 140,000 MT for paddy and 130,000 MT for rice for efficient inventory management. The distribution network of the company is expanding, and it has increased its number of distributors from 380 as of March 2023 to 431 as of February 2026 in India, and international sales through 53 distributors. The domestic market is primarily made up of offline sales channels that make up 99% of revenue; however, the company is gradually developing online/e-commerce & quick commerce sales platforms. It also sells products to institutional customers such as hotels/hospitals/caterers. Rice, especially the basmati variety, constitutes approximately 98% of total annual revenues. Basmati rice is segmented into premium, medium and value along with institutional (HORECA) sales. Sona masuri and kolam are also other speciality rice varieties that are marketed in the company's product portfolio. The company's FMCG product line includes basic staples such as wheat flour (atta), all-purpose flour (maida), gram flour (besan), semolina (sooji), salt, and sugar. However, this segment only comprises a very small portion of total revenues. A key shift to the current business strategy is towards domestic markets. Contribution of revenue from domestic markets has grown from 30.67% in FY23 to 61.73% in FY25 and further to 67.57% in H1FY26, based on nearly 74.9% CAGR growth of domestic sales from FY23 to FY25. As a result of this change, the contribution of exports to total revenue has decreased from 69.33% to 32.43% during the same period; however, the company currently exports its products to more than 38 countries, with the Middle East being the most significant export market. The Indian rice market has a solid infrastructure, with India being the world's largest exporter (14.4 MMT for MY23-24). It plays an important role in global production, alongside China. Rice comprises ~41.2% of India's total food grain output and is cultivated on 478 lakh acres with rising yields (+17% to 2,882 kg/hectare) contributing to continued supply recognition. The basmati segment represents about 75% of total global demand for basmati and, therefore, provides premium prices and strong export demand with CY24 exports of 5.9 MMT and forecast to increase at a CAGR of 8% from CY30. Overall, CY24 rice exports increased 21% YoY to 19.9 MMT and are estimated to rise at approximately 6% annually over the next 5 years, driven by increased demand from the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Monsoon dependence creates risks related to government intervention and business practices in India, the increase in premiumization, the continued movement toward the branded/packaged rice concept and the fact that there is still a low degree of organisation in the industry (30-40% for basmati) will provide long-term visibility for growth in rice exports. The company is looking to increase its distributor base from 431 to 700+ by FY28. It wants to expand into the lower-tier-level markets (300) by penetrating/expanding into Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities and investing in brand growth through media campaigns/celebrity endorsements, while also implementing/expanding its FMCG portfolio with items like edibles, pulses, and ready-to-eat products, which usually yield a greater margin than traditional food products. The company's ability to efficiently scale volumes using India's leading export of rice globally and the availability of a significant supply of raw materials across India (478 lakh hectares of rice production) support the opportunity to accelerate the growth of our export business. With the estimated growth in India's global trade of rice at ~6% CAGR and basmati rice at ~8% CAGR, the company's exports can see continued opportunities going forward in key export markets, i.e. the Middle East.
