Highlights of the results for the nine months are summarized below –
| HIGHLIGHTS CONSOLIDATED AND STANDALONE – 9MFY25 |

At Standalone level for 9MFY25,
- Revenue up 2 per cent at Rs 78,395 M vs Rs 76,763 M LY
- EBITDA dragged down by 10 per cent at Rs 4,306M due to weak domestic and international sugar prices impacting inventory valuation.
- Total domestic sugar volumes were up by 30 per cent at 322K MT.
- Refinery sold 1,080K MT vs LY at 1,026K MT up 5 per cent, sales realisation was lower by 9 per cent.
- Ethanol despatches suffered due to policy changes last season which impacted the production and sales in off-season in this fiscal year and lack of ethanol price revision. YTD despatches were at 9.4 crore litres vs 11.8 crore litres.
Commenting on the financial results, Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman, “The third quarter’s results reflect our stable growth in our operations despite the delay in the commencement of the crushing season due to weather condition, political elections and regulatory headwinds caused by lack of ethanol price revision, no change in minimum selling price (MSP) of sugar for the last six years. The Government recently permitted export of 10 lakh metric tonnes of domestic sugar which improved the domestic sugar prices, and its effect may be felt in following quarters. In spite, of all these challenges, Renuka is successfully progressing steadily.
Our consolidated income for 9MFY25 has increased by 4 per cent over the previous year. The company posted a sturdy 9MFY25 performance driven by increased volumes in the refinery and milling divisions.”
Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer of Shree Renuka Sugars Limited said, “Renuka Consol had a sluggish margin in the third quarter resulting in negative EBITDA growth of 10 per cent on 9M basis. Refinery exports were at full capacity. However, the domestic and international sugar prices were sharply down in the end of December which impacted the inventory valuation, realisations and consequently dragged the EBITDA performance.
