The short read
EID Parry reported Q4 FY26 segment performance across sugar, co-generation, distillery, Nutra and consumer products, alongside completion of the closure of Parry Sugars Refinery India Private Limited operations. Sugar revenue rose about 14% year-on-year to Rs 466 crores on higher exports and release quota, while the consumer products group revenue declined about 48% due to a deliberate shift away from lower-margin staples. Management detailed the funding and repayment schedule for PSRIPL's bank loan obligations and outlined capital allocation priorities toward the CPG segment for FY27.
