Sakthi Sugars reported a standalone net loss of ₹18.3 lakh for the first quarter of FY26 (ended June 30, 2026), widening slightly from a net loss of ₹11.0 lakh in the corresponding period of FY25. Total income stood at ₹381.4 crore, while total expenses were ₹383.8 crore. The company’s revenue from operations grew 24.6% year-on-year to ₹376.9 crore, up from ₹302.4 crore in Q1FY25.

Financial Performance

The quarterly result was influenced by divergent performance across segments. The power segment contributed significantly to profitability with a pre-tax profit of ₹220.5 crore, while the core sugar business recorded a pre-tax loss of ₹29.5 crore. Industrial alcohol operations generated a pre-tax profit of ₹13.8 crore.

Finance costs remained relatively stable at ₹24.2 crore, compared to ₹25.4 crore in the previous year. The company recognized ₹66.0 lakh under other income as carrying costs related to tariff revisions for its co-generation units, following a judgment by the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity dated December 22, 2025.

What the Numbers Show

A significant divergence exists between top-line growth and bottom-line performance. While revenue expanded by nearly 25%, the company returned to a net loss position after posting a full-year net profit of ₹28.1 crore in FY25. This shift is largely attributable to the seasonal nature of the sugar industry, where the crushing season typically drives costs and inventory changes that impact quarterly profitability. The power segment’s robust contribution of ₹220.5 crore in pre-tax profit helped cushion the overall impact of the sugar segment’s losses.
