Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd — earnings calls
2 quarters summarised from transcripts filed with the exchange, every statement cited. Newest first.
Balrampur Chini reported that Q1 FY27 revenues improved across the Sugar and Distillery segments on higher sugar realizations and distillery volumes, while sugarcane crushing and production increased on improved cane availability. Management said the 2025-26 sugar season turned out tighter than anticipated due to lower production, healthy consumption and ethanol diversion, which drew down inventory and firmed up domestic sugar prices. The company also gave an update on its PLA project, citing capex spent to date and expected commissioning timelines for the lactic and PLA plants.
Balrampur Chini Mills reported a stable FY26 close with the sugar segment showing resilient performance despite a sugarcane price increase from INR370 to INR400 per quintal. The company crushed 1,043 lakh quintals of cane, up 5.2% year-on-year, with gross recovery marginally lower at 11.24% versus 11.28%. Management also discussed progress on the PLA project, ethanol pricing pressures unresolved for three years, and a preferential share issue of INR450 crore to fund capex.
