The short read
EID Parry reported Q1 FY27 results with sugar segment revenue of Rs. 410 crores, up from Rs. 347 crores a year earlier, driven by higher sales volume, while consumer product group (CPG) revenue fell to Rs. 94 crores from Rs. 188 crores due to a recalibration of the business model. Management described progress on winding down the PSRIPL refinery, including settlement of bank liabilities and an in-principle SEZ exit approval, alongside a Rs. 610 crore capital infusion into the subsidiary during the quarter. Executives also discussed cane availability pressures in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, working capital and debt levels, and updates on the Nutraceuticals and jaggery businesses.
