What Alka India does

Alka India Limited, now operating under the name AUDROC Limited, is a BSE-listed public company (BOM:530889) that has undergone a complete corporate transformation. Incorporated in 1993 as a textile trading business, the company entered the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which was completed in December 2023. The NCLT Mumbai Bench approved a resolution plan on February 7, 2025, resulting in a change of promoters and the allotment of fresh equity in April 2025. Following the resolution, the company executed a strategic pivot, with shareholders approving diversification into agro-commodity trading in March 2026, and the entity was rebranded to AUDROC Limited.

The company now operates as an FMCG business with a primary focus on agro-commodities, procuring premium grains from trusted farms and suppliers and distributing them through a network of 110+ distributors across India. Its core activities revolve around grain procurement, quality assurance, and farm-to-consumer supply chain management. There is no proprietary technology platform underlying the business; the company's stated differentiators are quality standards at procurement, natural freshness, and brand heritage of 30+ years. The product portfolio is described in general terms without specified SKUs, patents, or technical components.

Alka India generates revenue through B2B and B2C agro-commodity trading, with sales-led, distributor-led distribution. The company has a registered office in Mira Road, Thane (Maharashtra) and a corporate office in Ahmedabad (Gujarat), with a team of 34+ employees. For FY 2025-26, its first full year of agro-commodity operations, the company reported revenue of Rs. 250.21 lakh and net profit of Rs. 17.81 lakh, with Q4 FY2026 sales of Rs. 2.50 crore and consolidated net profit of Rs. 0.82 crore. A 6:1 bonus issue was announced with ex-date May 8, 2026.
