Edible oil manufacturing company Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd has changed its name to Patanjali Foods Ltd, effective June 24.

Under names including Ruchi Gold, Mahakosh, Sunrich, Nutrela, Ruchi Star, and Ruchi Sunlight, Ruchi Soya sells its products. It also engages in the production of renewable wind energy.
