AVT Natural Products Limited is a publicly listed (NSE: AVTNPL, BSE: 519105) vertically integrated manufacturer of plant extracts and natural ingredient solutions, headquartered in Chennai, India, and operating as part of the A.V. Thomas Group. Founded in 1986, the company processes approximately 70,000 tons of plant material and 5,000 tons of plant extracts annually through two manufacturing facilities in Cochin and Bangalore, with a network of 20,000+ contract farmers providing raw material security. Its technology stack spans the full seed-to-feed/fork value chain: plant selection and breeding, extraction and standardization, in-house galenical formulation, multiple dust-free delivery formats (granulated powders, fat-encapsulated beadlets, water-soluble granules, tinctures, infused oils), and in-laboratory analytics for characterization, quantification, and stability testing.

The company sells B2B to four end-segments — Food & Beverage (shelf-life solutions, oleoresins, essential oils, flavors, seasonings, value-added tea), Animal Nutrition & Health (botanical feed additives), Cosmetics & Personal Care (anti-oxidants, UV protection, plant-based collagen replacement, natural colors), Crop Science (OMRI-certified pest management), and Human Nutrition (nutraceutical extracts for traditional medicine). Revenue mechanics are quote-based and custom-formulation-driven, sold through wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in India, the UK, the UAE, the US, and Mexico, plus a manufacturing subsidiary in China. Multiple certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 45001, FSSC 22000, SEDEX, Ecocert, Rainforest Alliance, FAMIQS, Halal, 100% Organic, UTZ) serve as gating credentials into regulated food, feed, and cosmetic end-markets. FY ending March 2026 sales were Rs 713.23 crore (approximately $85M USD), up 28.27% year-on-year, with net profit of Rs 64.81 crore, up 34.38%.
