SBEC Sugar Limited has published its audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, in newspapers. The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹1865.54 lacs for the financial year, while its standalone financial results reflected a net loss of ₹6280.89 lacs. The statutory auditors, Doogar & Associates, issued a qualified opinion on the financial statements, citing the company's failure to make provisions for interest on late payment of cane dues amounting to ₹3543.78 lacs for the year.
Financial Performance
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the standalone net profit was ₹670.44 lacs, a decline from ₹4547.65 lacs in the corresponding period of the previous year. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹15552.56 lacs. On a consolidated basis, the company reported a net profit of ₹9058.52 lacs for the quarter, driven significantly by a share of profit from joint ventures amounting to ₹8334.25 lacs. Total consolidated income for the year reached ₹55253.71 lacs.
Audit Qualifications
The statutory auditors highlighted that the company did not provide for interest on late payment of cane dues for the sugar seasons 2024-25 and 2025-26. Had these provisions been made, the loss for the standalone year would have been higher by ₹3543.78 lacs, and the consolidated profit would have been reduced by a similar amount. The auditors also drew attention to a settlement loss of ₹508.59 lacs arising from the settlement of debt assignment recoverables with Modi Industries Limited.
Board Decisions
The Board of Directors, meeting on May 29, 2026, approved the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, the Board re-appointed M/s Thakur Vaidyanath Aiyar & CO., Chartered Accountants, as internal auditors for the financial year 2026-27. The meeting also noted the resignation of Mr. Anil Kumar Goel and the subsequent appointment of Mr. Madhur Agarwal as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.
