In a statement to exchange, Ruchi mentioned that it will manufacture, sell and distribute entire range of Pantanjali edilble oils in large packs across India.
Dinesh Shahra, Managing Director & CEO, Ruchi Soya Industries said, " Not only will Ruchi Soya’s widespread distribution network ensure availability and sales of Patanjali’s large packs range; this agreement will further lead to better utilisation of Ruchi’s manufacturing capacity and significantly contribute to cost-efficient operations and augment profitability.”
This MOU will be followed by signing of a detailed service agreement for an initial period of three years, similar to the previous processing and packaging agreements concluded between Ruchi Soya and Patanjali Ayurved earlier this year.
Satendra Aggarwal, COO, Ruchi Soya Industries Limited “The significance of this agreement can be ascertained from the fact that Patanjali is eyeing sales of Rs. 20,000 cr by 2020 from its edible oils range of which large packs will constitute a substantial portion."
He also added,“The edible oil brands of Patanjali and Ruchi Soya (like Mahaksoh and Sunrich) operate in premium and popular segments respectively and hence are non-competitive."
Recently on September 06, Ruchi Soya stated its plan to consider internal restructuring options including creating subsidiaries for individual businesses within the company, and separating businesses into individual entities.
