Dhampur Sugar Mills Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹6.09 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, representing a substantial year-on-year increase from the ₹0.91 crore profit recorded in Q1FY26. The company’s total income from operations grew to ₹792.01 crore in the current quarter, compared to ₹748.73 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This improvement in profitability coincides with a rise in operational revenue, signaling stronger performance in the initial months of FY27.

The financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors in meetings held on July 31, 2026. The joint statutory auditors carried out a limited review of these financial results. The company published the advertisement containing these results in Business Standard (English and Hindi Edition) on August 1, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 47 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. The full format of the standalone and consolidated financial results is available on the stock exchange websites and the company’s website.

Consolidated Financial Performance

The profit before tax surged to ₹8.24 crore from ₹1.30 crore in the same quarter last year. Earnings per equity share (basic) stood at ₹0.94 per share, up significantly from ₹0.13 per share in Q1FY26. The total comprehensive income for the period was ₹5.53 crore, compared to ₹0.53 crore in the previous year’s corresponding quarter.

Standalone Results

On a standalone basis, Dhampur Sugar Mills reported total revenue of ₹791.26 crore, an increase from ₹748.63 crore in Q1FY26. The standalone profit after tax was ₹5.31 crore, rising from ₹0.72 crore in the prior year. The standalone profit before tax was ₹7.46 crore, compared to ₹1.11 crore previously. Other comprehensive income showed a loss of ₹0.56 crore, whereas it was a loss of ₹0.38 crore in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

The sharp contrast between the current quarter’s net profit and the prior year’s figure highlights a significant turnaround in profitability. While revenue growth was moderate at approximately 5.8%, the expansion in profit margins suggests improved cost management or favorable pricing dynamics in the sugar segment during the early part of the new fiscal year. The paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹64.30 crore.
