Lijjat Papad spans 83 branches in 16 states, reaches over 30 countries
KVIC Chairman Manoj Goyal addressed Lijjat Papad artisans on September 30, 2026, in Mumbai, praising their women’s empowerment efforts. Lijjat has more than 45,000 women across 83 branches in 16 states, with products reaching more than 30 countries.
Why it matters to operators and investors
Over 45,000 women and reach into more than 30 countries demonstrate existing scale, but the update offers no fresh evidence of growth or profitability.
What to watch next
- A formal announcement of additional branches or production capacity
- Reported domestic or export order growth
- Retailer announcements of new Lijjat listings
- A KVIC announcement of specific support for Lijjat
The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
This is a snapshot of existing scale, not evidence of expansion or improving commercial performance. Branch count, geographic reach and women associated with the enterprise do not establish sales growth, stronger margins or rising market share.
