Kathmandu: Nutri Foods Private Limited has recorded a 13 percent growth in its business turnover, reaching Rs 1.536 billion in 2025 compared to Rs 1.363 billion in 2024.
This performance reflects a strong recovery following a slight dip from its 2023 turnover of Rs 1.541 billion. Along with the rise in revenue, the company’s profitability margins saw a substantial boost; the profit margin rose to 9.19 percent from the previous year’s 6.16 percent, while the net profit margin surged to 4.48 percent from a marginal 0.19 percent in 2024.
The company’s financial health and capital structure have also shown marked improvement. The overall gearing ratio, which indicates the company’s level of debt, improved to 1.72 times from 1.76 times, a shift attributed to the repayment of long-term loans and a healthy increase in retained earnings.
Similarly, the ratio of total outside liabilities to tangible net worth improved slightly to 2.03 times. Most notably, the company’s ability to handle its debt obligations has strengthened significantly, with the interest coverage ratio more than doubling from 1.57 to 3.28 times and the debt service coverage ratio rising from 1.30 to 2.34 times.
Operational efficiency has also been on an upward trajectory, with capacity utilization increasing from 27 percent in 2024 to 30 percent in 2025. This momentum has continued into the first nine months of the current fiscal year, reaching 31 percent.
Management attributes this growth to rising demand for its products in both the domestic Nepalese market and exports to Bangladesh.
Originally established in 2001 as Pashupati Flour Mills and rebranded as Nutri Foods in 2006, the Sunsari-based company specializes in the processing and marketing of flour, lentils, corn, baby food, and animal feed under popular brands such as Superman, Fortune, Encore, and Nutrilac. Operated by the Sharda Group, the company recently sought a credit rating for long-term and short-term loans totalling Rs 813.5 million.
