Management’s
“The results for the quarter were muted owing to subdued prices and lower off-take of sugar (as the
government fixed a lower domestic sale quota for the quarter). In addition, adverse weather conditions
Message
and red rot disease impacted the sugarcane yields, resulting in lower cane. This is a one-off case
where the sugar season had a short run and we are hopeful to catch up in the ensuing season. We are
aggressively undertaking cane development activities in our command area, which in the future would
lead to improved recovery and enhanced cane availability for our units.
Commenting on the performance for The Board of Directors has approved the 5th consecutive buy-back of equity shares of the Company
for an aggregate amount not exceeding Rs. 215.25 crores under the ‘Open Market Through Stock

promoters had always participated in the buy back. But under the proposed buy back , promoters for
Limited, said: the first time would not be participating .Post successful completion of this buy-back, promoter's stake
in the company would rise .
The Board has also accorded its approval to proposals for expansion of distillery unit at Balrampur
from 160 KLPD to 330 KLPD and distillery unit at Gularia from 160 KLPD to 200 KLPD.
With the distillery unit at Maizapur already under implementation, our total capacity will reach to 1050
KLPD by November, 2022 resulting in almost 35 crores of distillation capacity on an annual basis.
Consequently, we would be doubling our distillation capacity via cane juice and B-heavy diversion
route, thereby diverting surplus sugar.
In addition, the Board has also approved modernization of sugar plants at some locations along with
setting up of refinery at the sugar plants. This will enable us to sweat our assets better and crush a
higher quantum of cane in a reduced time frame. This will also ensure higher availability of feed stock
(B-heavy molasses and sugar cane juice) for our increasing ethanol capacity and thus, help us achieve
economies of scale.
As indicated earlier, we are further strengthening the Ethanol business of the Company, enthused by
the pro-active and forward looking steps initiated by the GOI. Assured off-take, along with a clear
pricing mechanism has been a game changer. This will also enable us to produce only that much sugar
which we can sell in the domestic market and the excess will get converted into Ethanol. This, in turn,
will help us as well as the sector to become self-sustainable.”

Rising freight rates, historic drought in Brazil, recent frost, weakness of the USD are likely to limit global trade flows and strengthen
sugar prices .
The downside on NY11 raw sugar price seems to be limited while on the upside expect the price to remain strong with upward bias
from its current level of ~18.5 c/lb.

Central Government approved the National Policy on Biofuels to achieve 20% blending of Ethanol in petrol by 2030. Key benefits highlighted by the government include:
Reduce dependence on exports of sugar (target to sacrifice ~6 million tonnes of sugar) Employment generation
Reduce import dependency of fuels (savings of ~$4 billion i.e. Rs. 30,000 crs.)

In January 2021, the target of achieving 20% Ethanol-blending with petrol was preponed to 2025. For the same, the country will need to produce ~1000 crore litres of Ethanol
In June 2021 Central Government announced that from April 2023 blending upto 20% to be implemented so as to reach E20 by April 2025. 15

into Ethanol, dependence on physical export of sugar is getting reduced. 37

Foot Note:
• Seasonal nature of the industry.
• Lower cane availability is one-off scenario.
• Company is actively working on cane development / disease management activities.
• With sacrifice of sugar due to conversion into Ethanol, there is a corresponding sacrifice of potential profit on sacrificed sugar which ultimately gets converted into
profitability of distillery segment.
*/ Company has already fulfilled all its export obligation under MAEQ. However, owing to part of physical exports completed in July,

financial assistance of ~Rs. 12.82 cr (net) will be booked in next quarter.

In-spite of no change in sugarcane price ,cost of production has gone up because of higher diversion of cane to B-heavy molasses route, which resulted in lower sugar
