India's consumer marketers, as well as exporters of rice, GRM Overseas Limited, have come under Acuité Ratings & Research Limited since its credit rating has been upgraded. The long-term rating was maintained at 'ACUITE A-', which has a 'Stable' outlook and the short-term rating was affirmed 'ACUITE A2+', which is expected to remain on a sustainable growth track for the medium term. These ratings capture the firm's strong financial position, growing revenues, profit levels, and liquidity levels, as well as overall strengthening financial position.

For the first three quarters of FY25, GRM Overseas registered a revenue of Rs 1,056.81 crore, which is a 17 percentage rise year-on-year. This follows a previous decline and shows strong operational performance returning. Net profit of the company for the period was Rs 40.76 crore, which is a 3 percentage rise compared to 9MFY24. In terms of revenue, the results of Q3FY25 compared to the previous quarter's results showed very strong growth. For net sales, there was an increase of 18 percentage in value to reach Rs 371.24 crore; in terms of net profit, there was an increase of 47% to reach Rs 13.54 crore when compared with Q2FY25.

The balance sheet for GRM also backs this performance. As of March 31, 2024, the company has seen a net worth increase to Rs 429.74 crore from Rs 372.04 crore in the last fiscal year. This shows healthy retention and reinvestment of capital. Furthermore, the company continues to have a strong Return on Equity (ROE) of 18 percent, with a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 13 percent, demonstrating operational efficiency.

Acuité's reaffirmation takes into account the strengths and persisting challenges of the company. GRM is a part of an intensive working capital sector, meaning there is high expenditure and risk along with agro-climatic elements and volatile currency risks associated with exports. Their diversified global presence, covering 42 countries, however, along with strict quality control measures in place at the three processing and warehousing facilities, helps alleviate some strain from the external uncertainties.

Increased promoter activity shows the company's confidence in the future. Promoters Atul Garg, Mamta Garg, and Hukam Chand Garg purchased a total of 42,000 shares in the open market in March 2025. This highlights their commitment to the company beyond day-to-day operations and proves their belief in sustained growth moving forward.

Initiated in 1974 as a rice trading company, GRM Overseas today has diversified operations and is recognized as a global rice brand and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company. It is among the top exporters of rice in India, and both their retail and wholesale brands are manufactured in compliance with international food safety and quality requirements. Its brands are commonplace in retail stores and have established GRM as a reliable name globally in the food staples industry.

Apart from operational success, GRM has also witnessed remarkable stock performance, with cumulative returns of 3030% over the past five years and 7200% over the last decade. Coupled with the robust financial position, strategic backing of promoters, and steady performance in exports, GRM Overseas is firmly positioning itself as a competitive player in the agro-export industry in India.
