AWL Agri Business has raised imported edible-oil inventory cover to 40-45 days amid Middle East and Russia-Ukraine shipping disruptions. The Fortune oil maker says stronger stockholding can prevent festive-season stock-outs; Patanjali Foods is also carrying higher inventories.
Why this matters
The inventory build follows AWL Agri’s FY27 plan for 8–9% volume growth and 1 million direct outlets, while West Asia volatility has raised margin and festive-demand risks for Indian consumer companies.
