Gopal Snacks Ltd Restarts Rajkot Manufacturing Facility; Shares Slip 0.6% 

Mumbai, May 11: Gopal Snacks Ltd said it has resumed manufacturing operations at its main Rajkot facility after completing reinstatement work following the fire incident reported in December 2024. 

According to the company’s exchange filing, operations restarted after the company received the necessary approvals from relevant government authorities. The Rajkot facility had remained shut since the fire incident disrupted operations last year. 

The company said the plant has an installed manufacturing capacity of 1,05,233 MTPA and manufactures products including gathiya, namkeen, snack pellets and extruded snacks. 

Gopal Snacks also announced that manufacturing activities at its Gondal facility will be discontinued as production shifts to the Rajkot plant. 

The consolidation is expected to improve operational efficiency through lower power and transportation costs, along with better utilisation of labour and manufacturing overheads. 

The company clarified that ancillary facilities producing papad, spices and besan were not impacted by the earlier fire incident and continued operating normally during the disruption period. 

The restart of the Rajkot facility marks an important operational recovery milestone for the company, restoring a major portion of its production infrastructure after months of reinstatement work. 

Stock Market Snapshot 

Gopal Snacks share price traded marginally lower despite the operational update. 

The stock was trading at ₹330.95, down 0.62%, as of 11:45 a.m. IST on May 11, 2026, according to exchange data. 

Market reaction remained subdued even as investors tracked the reopening of the company’s primary manufacturing unit and the potential efficiency gains from production consolidation. 

The restoration of full-scale operations at Rajkot is expected to play a key role in normalising production capacity and supporting future volume growth. 

Company Operates Across Packaged Snacks Segment 

Gopal Snacks Ltd manufactures and distributes packaged snack products across India. 

Its product portfolio includes namkeen, wafers, snack pellets, extruded snacks, spices, papad and bakery items. 

The company operates multiple manufacturing and storage facilities supported by a wide distribution network catering to domestic and export markets. 

Gopal Snacks has continued focusing on product expansion, retail penetration and manufacturing efficiency as competition in the packaged snacks market intensifies. 

Conclusion 

The reopening of the Rajkot manufacturing facility restores a critical production hub for Gopal Snacks after the disruption caused by the December 2024 fire incident. 

While the stock traded slightly lower during the session, the operational restart and consolidation of manufacturing activities could help improve efficiency and strengthen production capacity over the longer term.
