Segment Highlights
  • Sugar, Power & Ethanol: Operations were impacted by an early mill closure due to a regional cane shortage.

Ethanol sales increased marginally to 9,757 KL, with higher average realisations of Rs 60.7 per litre (Rs 58.9 per litre in Q1 FY25). Power exports were lower due to early closure. The company cleared 100 per cent cane dues in May 2025.

The company also reduced its cost of borrowing by 73 basis points year-on-year.

Athar Shahab, Managing Director, Zuari Industries Ltd, said:
"The first quarter is typically a quieter period for our Sugar, Power & Ethanol division due to seasonality. Despite this, we achieved better realisations and higher ethanol output. The St. Regis Residences project in Dubai is ahead of schedule, Simon India has strengthened its order book, and our bioethanol plant remains on track. We are committed to disciplined execution, strategic expansion, and investments in sustainability and digitalisation to create long-term value for stakeholders."
