Patanjali Foods rejects reports of Centre's notice to Ayurved division: ‘Examining appropriate action'
Patanjali Foods Ltd on Sunday junked reports of Patanjali Ayurved Limited receiving notice from the Ministry of Corporate affairs, saying it has not received any communication. In a stock exchange filing, Patanjali Foods said its sister concern Patanjali Ayurved is not being investigated by the Centre. 'Pursuant to Regulation 30(11) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, based on confirmation from Patanjali Ayurved Limited, we may clarify that Patanjali Ayurved Limited has not received any communication from Ministry of Corporate Affairs('MCA') for the proposed investigation by MCA as appearing in mainstream media,' the filing noted. Patanjali Ayurved is exploring legal options to address the issue, the company said. 'Their legal counsels are examining appropriate action in this regard,' Patanjali Foods said. In a report on May 30, Bloomberg reported that yoga guru Baba Ramdev's company Patanjali Ayurved is under the scrutiny of Centre due to 'suspicious' activities. The Centre has asked Patanjali Ayurved to explain some transactions deemed suspicious, according to the report quoting people familiar with the matter. As per the report quoting unnamed sources, the Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs sent a notice to the company after the federal economic intelligence wing found transactions it said was abnormal and dubious. The sources quoted by Bloomberg did not however reveal the exact amount of transactions involved in the case. They cited early stages of investigation as the reason. The company will have about two months to respond to the notice, according to the report. The corporate affairs ministry will further confirm if the company committed any corporate governance breaches and fund diversion. While Patanjali Ayurved is a closely held company, its unit Patanjali Foods Ltd. is publicly traded. Patanjali's face, Yoga Guru Ramdev, found himself in a soup earlier this year regarding some controversial comments. On May 2, Ramdev gave an undertaking in the Delhi High Court saying he will not issue any disparaging statement or publish on social media, posts similar to his "sharbat jihad" remark against Hamdard's Rooh Afza. A similar undertaking was also tendered by Ramdev's Patanjali Foods Ltd. The court passed the order while dealing with a lawsuit by Hamdard National Foundation India against Ramdev and his Patanjali Foods Ltd over the controversial remarks. Hamdard claimed while promoting Patanjali's "gulab sharbat", Ramdev alleged the money earned from Hamdard's Rooh Afza was used to build madrasas and mosques.

Patanjali Ayurved under MCA lens for 'company law lapses'
New Delhi: The ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) has initiated the process for a probe into the affairs of Patanjali Ayurved to ascertain if there have been any corporate governance or financial lapses there, a person aware of the development said. The ministry is learnt to have sent a notice for this purpose to the company under Section 210 of the Companies Act. This section empowers the government to launch a probe into a company in public interest, among other conditions. The ministry's decision, said the person cited above, follows inputs from government agencies about alleged financial irregularities at the company. In response to ET's query, a Patanjali Ayurved spokesperson said "no communication has been received so far" from the MCA on this issue. An email sent to the ministry remained unanswered until the paper went to press. In April 2024, Patanjali Foods , the listed unit of the closely-held Patanjali Ayurved, said it had received a show-cause notice from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence in Chandigarh over a Rs 27.5 crore tax claim. Earlier, the Supreme Court had also restrained the company from putting up misleading advertisements. The ministry has in recent years stepped up its scrutiny of corporate governance and related lapses at companies. Recently, it has launched an investigation into Gensol Engineering for alleged fraud there.

How Patanjali products helped a brinjal farmer in Wardha transition to organic profits
In the heart of Maharashtra's Wardha district, an agricultural revolution is occurring, one whose golden opportunities for sustainable farming and rural wealth must be shared. At its core is Shri Prabhakarrao Deotale, a Nandora village farmer who transitioned from conventional to organic farming, both increasing revenue and environmental health, largely because of training and practices inspired by Patanjali Ayurved's farm extension work. Deotale, an owner of 1.5 hectares of land who grew a variety of vegetables conventionally for years, received his wake-up call in May-June 2019 when he attended an organic farming training program conducted by the Patanjali Bio Research Institute (PBRI) at Nandora. The workshop was under the Farmer Samruddhi Programme of Patanjali, an initiative to empower farmers through ancient Indian knowledge systems blended with modern organic principles. Training the farmers During his training, Deotale was introduced to a wide variety of natural farming inputs and philosophies, including Jeevamrut, Beejamrut, cow dung-based composts, and vermiwash—all staples in organic farming protocol. He also learned the advantages of using straight (non-hybrid) seed varieties and natural pest deterrents over chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Armed with such knowledge, Deotale took a dramatic turn. In July 2019, he set aside 0.50 acres (0.20 hectares) of his land for chemical-free cultivation of brinjal through the use of the Harshal (Ankur) variety. His initial results were promising enough for him to harvest in September of the same year. Patanjali principles The shift to organic practices resulted in drastic reductions in the cost of inputs and sustained improvements in soil health. On the advice of Patanjali, Deotale made homemade Panchgavya and Dashparni—a mixture natural plant products and other things to manage nutrients and control pests. Panchgavya and Dashparni was applied to the field as remedies recommended in Patanjali's farmer manuals, and they helped keep plants healthy and minimised the need for commercial chemicals. The integrative organic system reduced pesticide costs and enhanced plant health. Notably, field observations showed healthier, stronger plant growth and immunity, an important parameter of crop and soil health under organic conditions. Market strategy: Organic by trust Deotale initially sold his crop twice a week on the campus of a local medical and engineering college in Sewagram. Despite the limited exposure, the higher price of organic brinjal ensured a superior income. His success has drawn attention and imitation from other farmers in the district. Apart from farming Deotale's commitment extends beyond his field. A poet and singer, he composed Marathi songs detailing the health hazards of chemical farming—lessons he absorbed during Patanjali's RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) training. By performing these songs locally, he has become an organic ambassador, sensitizing other farmers and villagers to the dangers of pesticides and the promise of natural methods. A new model for rural India? What makes Deotale's journey remarkable is the blend of tradition and innovation. Patanjali's approach—rooted in Vedic agriculture and fortified by modern training—has given farmers like Deotale the tools to achieve profitability without compromising the environment or health. As awareness of food safety and sustainable farming grows, Deotale's success is more than an individual achievement. It is a potential model for rural transformation, where local know-how, sustainable technologies, and strategic placement of the market coalesce to create strong farm systems. As chemical farming continues to brew as a cause of controversy, examples like that of Deotale show that maybe the future does lie in returning to our roots, with institutions like Patanjali in the lead.
