The target price implies an upside potential of 25.15% from current levels.

In its note, the brokerage described Orkla India as a multi-category South Indian packaged foods player with strong regional brands such as MTR and Eastern. The company operates across spices and convenience foods, including ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat products, vermicelli, and beverages.

Through its Eastern brand, the company also commands a 22.2% share in India?s branded spice exports market and has remained the country?s largest branded spice exporter for 24 consecutive years.

The brokerage further highlighted the company?s diversified portfolio of over 400 products and its wide distribution network of 834 distributors across 28 states. It also noted that Orkla India operates as a capital-efficient and debt-free business, strengthening its investment appeal.
