Company Identity
Confirmed| Registered name | DSM Fresh Foods Limited |
|---|---|
| CIN | U52203DL2015PLC280514 |
| PAN | AAFCD3598N (Tofler) |
| Status | Active; Registrar-compliance status "Active Compliant" (TheCompanyCheck, Tofler, both fetched 2026-08-08) |
| Listing | Yes — TheCompanyCheck explicitly labels it "Active Listed Public Limited Company" and its FAQ states "Yes, Dsm Fresh Foods Limited is a listed company." Exchange/segment and exact listing date not obtained from these sources. NOTE: TheCompanyCheck's structured data (schema.org identifier) shows the CIN as L52203DL2015PLC280514 (L = listed) while Tofler and the target CIN use U52203DL2015PLC280514 (U = unlisted). TheCompanyCheck's own page text also states "Registered with ROC Delhi under CIN U52203DL2015PLC280514. Listed." and separately has a "CIN History" reference to "multiple CINs, indicating changes in the company's corporate structure." Read together this indicates the company was incorporated as an unlisted entity (U-prefix CIN, the one in this brief) and has since transitioned to listed status, receiving an updated L-prefix CIN — a normal MCA convention, not a different company. Flagging for the sheet since the sheet's CIN (U-prefix) is the pre-listing identifier. |

Financials
Partial / conflicting- FY2025 (year ended 31 March 2025) Revenue: ₹131.47 Cr, up 44% YoY (TheCompanyCheck) — standalone basis implied (no consolidated basis mentioned for this entity)
- EBITDA and PAT (net profit) absolute figures are paywalled/"Locked" on TheCompanyCheck
- Tofler (separate financials page) shows FY2023-24 YoY movement percentages without absolute values (paywalled): EBITDA +151.38%, PAT -39.03% (declined), Net Worth +164.82%, Total Borrowings +269.85%
- NOTE: the two sources appear to reference different/adjacent fiscal years (TheCompanyCheck's headline figure is FY25
- Tofler's YoY page reads as FY23-24) — flagging as a likely year-vintage conflict rather than a contradiction, exact absolute EBITDA/PAT/net-worth/borrowings values not obtained (both sources gate them behind paid tiers)
- Auditor: B R Maheswari & Co LLP (FY2023, per TheCompanyCheck AI summary — not independently cross-verified by a second source, so partial confidence)
Charges / Loans
Partial / conflictingSource conflict — reporting both:
| Tofler (charges page) | 8 open charges, all currently active, totaling ₹63.1 Cr — Yes Bank Ltd ₹20 Cr (22 Sep 2025), Unity Small Finance Bank Ltd ₹15 Cr (31 Aug 2024 & modified 21 Jan 2025), IncredFinancial Services Ltd ₹10 Cr (13 Jun 2025), UC Inclusive Credit Pvt Ltd ₹9 Cr (11 Dec 2024 & modified 31 Jul 2025), State Bank of India ₹7 Cr (04 Oct 2024), Samunnati Finance Pvt Ltd ₹1.2 Cr (20 Aug 2025), HDFC Bank Ltd ₹0.6 Cr (21 Oct 2024), Axis Bank Ltd ₹0.3 Cr (01 Jul 2025). No satisfied/closed charges listed by Tofler |
|---|---|
| TheCompanyCheck | Open charges ₹97.69 Cr, satisfied charges ₹8.2 Cr, breakdown by lender — Others ₹56.76 Cr, Yes Bank Ltd ₹20 Cr, Standard Chartered Bank ₹20 Cr, HDFC Bank Ltd ₹0.64 Cr, Axis Bank Ltd ₹0.29 Cr |
The two totals and lender breakdowns do not reconcile (₹63.1 Cr vs ₹97.69 Cr open); both agree Yes Bank (~₹20 Cr), HDFC Bank (~₹0.6 Cr) and Axis Bank (~₹0.3 Cr) are lenders, which is the highest-confidence subset. Standard Chartered Bank and the itemized Unity SFB/IncredFinancial/UC Inclusive Credit/SBI/Samunnati charges each appear on only one of the two sources — treat as partial/unconfirmed individually.
