Heritage to claim ₹4.53 cr refund of GST paid under protest
Dairy company Heritage Foods said it will claim a refund of more than ₹4.53 crore Goods and Services Tax paid under protest consequent to the Supreme Court dismissing a special leave petition in a matter pertaining to flavoured milk HSN classification and the applicable rate of GST. The Supreme Court has dismissed the SLP filed by the GST Department of Andhra Pradesh against the final judgement passed by High Court of Andhra Pradesh in a writ petition. Pursuant to the dismissal of the SLP, flavoured milk is now conclusively classifiable under tariff heading 04029990, attracting 5% GST, as opposed to heading 22029990, which attracts 12% GST. The company said the more ₹4.53 crore it paid under protest consists of IGST of around ₹17 lakh and CGST and SGST of over ₹2.18 crore each.

Positive Points Heritage Foods Ltd (BOM:519552) achieved its highest ever quarterly revenue of INR11,368 million, marking the third consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth. Revenues from value-added products, including ghee and butter consumer packs, grew by 7.4% year-on-year, contributing over 40% to the top line. Milk procurement increased by 10% year-on-year to 17.8 lakh liters per day, supported by quality-linked sourcing from over 300,000 farmers.

The company was recognized among India's best workplaces in FMCG 2025 by the Great Place to Work Institute, reflecting its inclusive culture and high-trust workplace environment. Negative Points Year-on-year margins were softer due to seasonality, input cost inflation, and a temporary product mix shift. Early rains temporarily impacted demand for value-added products such as curd, buttermilk, flavored milk, and ice cream. The company faced weather-related challenges, including an erratic monsoon and an unseasonably cool summer, affecting sales. Milk procurement prices increased by 4.74% year-on-year, which was higher than expected and not fully passed on to consumers. The company reported a loss of INR1.31 crores from Heritage Novandie Foods Private Limited in Q1, reflecting operational challenges. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you explain the current trends in milk procurement prices and their impact on your margins? A: Srideep Kesavan, CEO: Milk procurement prices have increased by 4.74% year-on-year, which is slightly higher than expected but not extraordinary. This increase is typical during the lean season in May and June. We have not been able to pass on these costs to consumers due to a mix change and deliberate pricing decisions to maintain sales volume. The pricing changes have primarily affected value-added products. Q: What is the outlook for milk procurement prices over the next 12 months, and how will it affect margins? A: Srideep Kesavan, CEO: We expect stable milk availability, with some short-term price increases possible, but nothing extraordinary. The monsoon has been favorable for milk supply, and we anticipate a 4-5% year-on-year increase in milk prices, which is normal. We aim to maintain margins by potentially increasing prices in the future. Q: What are the strategic plans for Heritage Novandie Foods and the new Livo brand? A: N. Brahmani, Executive Director: Heritage Foods now holds a 94.4% stake in Heritage Novandie Foods. We have repurposed the business to co-pack yogurts under the Livo brand, targeting health-conscious consumers. The initial launch has been encouraging, and we plan to expand the product range and distribution. Q: Can you provide more details on the Vision 2030 plan and its key metrics? A: Srideep Kesavan, CEO: Vision 2030 aims to make Heritage Foods the most admired dairy nutrition company. Key metrics include maintaining double-digit revenue growth, improving farmer income, enhancing consumer loyalty, and achieving sustainability goals. We are focused on transitioning towards a branded consumer business model. Q: How is the company addressing the lactose intolerance trend among consumers? A: Srideep Kesavan, CEO: We are focusing on value-added products that are naturally lower in lactose, such as curd and buttermilk. Additionally, we are working on innovations to offer reduced lactose or zero lactose milk products to cater to lactose-intolerant consumers.
