Rajshree Sugars & Chemicals reported a 27% year-on-year increase in consolidated sugar sales for August 2026, driven by higher crushing activity across its three manufacturing units. The company crushed 2,68,027 MT of sugarcane during the month, up from 2,13,188 MT in August 2025.

The operational data, filed with stock exchanges on September 7, 2026, shows that total sugar production reached 19,391 MT in August 2026, compared to 16,381 MT in the same period last year. Sales volumes stood at 11,873 MT, reflecting improved off-take despite the seasonal lull typically seen in late summer months.

Unit-wise Performance

Unit II in Villupuram district remained the largest contributor, accounting for over half of the group's cane crushing volume. It processed 1,28,675 MT of cane, producing 9,624 MT of sugar. Unit III followed with 94,821 MT of cane crushed and 7,005 MT of sugar produced. Unit I in Theni district contributed 44,531 MT of cane crushing and 3,762 MT of sugar production.

Cogeneration and Molasses Output

Power generation from cogeneration plants totaled 384.29 lakh units in August 2026. Of this, 163.52 lakh units were consumed captive, while 220.77 lakh units were exported to the grid. Molasses production reached 14,729 MT, with 9,619 MT utilized for own consumption or sold.

What the Numbers Show

Sugar sales growth outpaced production growth in August 2026, indicating inventory drawdown or efficient working capital management. While production rose 18.4% YoY, sales expanded by 26.1%, suggesting the company is clearing existing stockpiles alongside fresh output. This divergence is particularly notable at Unit III, where sales (6,453 MT) significantly exceeded production (7,005 MT) compared to the prior year's lower sales volume (1,206 MT).

Rajshree Sugars & Chemicals reported a substantial increase in sugar production and cane crushing volumes for July 2026, driven by strong performance across its three manufacturing units. The operational data, filed with stock exchanges on August 7, 2026, reveals that total sugar production rose significantly compared to July 2025, reflecting higher cane availability and processing efficiency during the ongoing 2025-26 sugar season.

The filing details performance metrics for each unit, highlighting Unit II in Villupuram District as the primary contributor to volume growth. While Unit I in Theni District saw a decline in monthly cane crushing, it maintained steady production levels. Unit III in Gingee Taluk recorded the most dramatic year-on-year improvement in both crushing and production figures. Additionally, the company’s cogeneration facilities increased power exports to the grid, supporting its energy diversification strategy.

Operational Performance by Unit

The company operates three sugar factories, each reporting distinct trends in July 2026. The data below outlines the key metrics for sugar production, molasses handling, and power generation.

Unit I: Varadarajnagar, Theni District

Unit I processed 11,091 MTs of cane in July 2026, down from 15,888 MTs in July 2025. Despite lower crushing volumes, sugar production stood at 898 MTs, compared to 1,351 MTs in the previous year. Cumulative production for the season reached 11,044 MTs. Molasses production was 175 MTs, while own consumption and sales totaled 335 MTs. The unit generated 4.80 lakh units of power, exporting 0.49 lakh units to the grid.

Unit II: Mundiypakkam, Villupuram District

Unit II demonstrated robust growth, crushing 1,20,874 MTs of cane in July 2026, up from 61,708 MTs in July 2025. Sugar production surged to 9,088 MTs from 4,783 MTs year-on-year. Sales were strong at 4,730 MTs, compared to 1,088 MTs in July 2025. Cumulative season production reached 39,220 MTs. The unit produced 6,240 MTs of molasses and generated 128.98 lakh units of power, with 89.78 lakh units exported to the grid.

Unit III: Semmedu Village, Villupuram District

Unit III recorded significant expansion, crushing 41,058 MTs of cane versus 3,482 MTs in July 2025. Sugar production jumped to 2,924 MTs from 226 MTs. Sales reached 594 MTs, up from 55 MTs. Cumulative production for the season stood at 32,194 MTs. The unit generated 44.57 lakh units of power, exporting 27.77 lakh units to the grid.

Consolidated Metrics

What the Numbers Show

The operational data indicates a clear concentration of volume growth in Unit II and Unit III, which together accounted for the majority of the increase in cane crushing and sugar production. Unit II alone contributed over 70% of the total sugar production in July 2026. The surge in power exports, particularly from Unit II, suggests improved efficiency in cogeneration operations, allowing the company to monetize excess energy more effectively. The disparity in performance between Unit I and the other two units highlights varying local conditions or operational scales, with Unit I operating at a significantly smaller capacity during this period.
