AGM Agenda: Key Resolutions

The AGM will transact both ordinary and special business. The following table summarises the key resolutions proposed:

PSRIPL Closure: Background to Special Resolution

The special resolution on PSRIPL asset disposal is directly linked to the Board's decision to close operations of PSRIPL's sugar refinery unit with effect from the close of working hours on March 31, 2026. Operations were adversely impacted by changes in global market conditions, increased operating costs, and operational disruptions, resulting in continued losses. PSRIPL is required to obtain regulatory approvals, complete the SEZ exit process, and undertake dismantling and disposal of assets. As PSRIPL is a material subsidiary under Regulation 16(1)(c) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, Regulation 24(6) requires prior shareholder approval by Special Resolution for disposal of assets exceeding 20% of PSRIPL's total assets.

Standalone Financial Performance: FY 2025-26

The company's standalone financial performance for FY 2025-26 reflected improved operating metrics but significant exceptional charges. The following table presents key standalone financial indicators:

The standalone loss was significantly influenced by an impairment charge of ₹ 40,060 lakhs recognised on the investment in PSRIPL and a provision of ₹ 59,132 lakhs towards financial guarantee obligations related to PSRIPL's closure. The Book Value per share stood at ₹ 105.29 as on March 31, 2026. Earnings per share for the year ended March 31, 2026 stood at ₹ (39.83).

Consolidated Financial Performance: FY 2025-26

At the consolidated level, the Group delivered revenue growth, though profitability was impacted by exceptional items.

Segment Performance Highlights

The sugar segment contributed 40% of standalone turnover during FY 2025-26. Total cane crushed was 38.40 LMT, an increase of approximately 3%. Gross recovery improved to 10.91%. The distillery segment contributed 37% of standalone revenues, with revenues standing at ₹ 1,151.37 Crore. The Consumer Products Group (CPG) segment revenue declined by approximately 31% to ₹ 607.15 Crore, attributable to lower Government-mandated release quotas and channel rationalisation.
