Suraj Industries Ltd reported a consolidated net profit of ₹4.3 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a significant turnaround from the net loss of ₹1.3 crore recorded in Q1FY26. The company’s standalone net profit was ₹17.4 crore (₹1,737.85 lakh), compared to a standalone loss of ₹0.3 crore (₹31.68 lakh) in the prior year quarter. This positive shift highlights a recovery in profitability, driven by operational scale-up in contract manufacturing and exceptional items related to investment accounting.

The financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meetings held on August 06, 2026. The unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results were filed with the stock exchanges pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The figures have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Standalone figures converted to crores for consistency with consolidated data where applicable; original standalone figures in lakhs were ₹955.38 lakh, ₹1,019.76 lakh, ₹1,769.20 lakh, (₹42.16 lakh), ₹1,737.85 lakh, and (₹31.68 lakh).

Operational Drivers and Segment Performance

The primary driver behind the consolidated profit surge was the ramp-up across key business segments. Consolidated revenue from operations increased to ₹30 crore in Q1FY27 from ₹8 crore in Q1FY26. EBITDA improved to ₹6.6 crore with an EBITDA margin of 22%, compared to an EBITDA loss of ₹0.5 crore (-6% margin) in Q1FY26.

The growth was supported by:

• RSGSM Contract Manufacturing: Suraj Industries undertakes contract manufacturing and bottling operations for Rajasthan State Ganganagar Sugar Mills (RSGSM), which commands ~30-35% market share in Rajasthan’s country liquor market. Operations include aseptic pack bottling in Ajmer and PET bottle liquor bottling in Jodhpur.
• Allied Blenders & Distillers (ABD) Tie-Up: The company started manufacturing and bottling IMFL brands for Allied Blenders & Distillers Ltd in June 2025. Premium brands include Officer’s Choice, IconiQ White, and 8 PM Special Rare Whiskey.
• Radico Khaitan Partnership: A manufacturing arrangement with Radico Khaitan Ltd commenced in Q1FY27 after receiving requisite approvals from the Excise Department. In the quarter, the company sold 13,000 cases, generating ₹1.3 crore in net sales.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between standalone and consolidated results highlights the impact of both operational scale and accounting adjustments. While standalone revenue declined slightly to ₹9.6 crore from ₹10.2 crore in Q1FY26, consolidated revenue nearly quadrupled to ₹30 crore.

A significant portion of the standalone profit surge was attributed to an exceptional item. M/s Shri Gang Industries & Allied Products Ltd ceased to be an associate of Suraj Industries on June 06, 2026, due to an increase in the equity share capital of the associate company. Consequently, the investment was reclassified as a financial asset measured at fair value under Ind AS 109. This reclassification resulted in an unrealized remeasurement gain of ₹16.3 crore (net of tax) for the standalone accounts. In the consolidated accounts, the resulting unrealized remeasurement gain was ₹0.8 crore (net of tax). Additionally, subsequent unrealized fair value gains of ₹1.4 crore were recognized in Other Comprehensive Income pursuant to the irrevocable FVOCI election under Ind AS 109.

Operationally, the company is evolving from a bottler to a fully integrated alco-bev player. It holds licenses for a 125 KLPD ethanol distillery at Baran, Rajasthan, expected to be commissioned by H1FY27. This in-house capacity aims to save ₹7/litre on imports from other states, addressing a structural supply deficit in Rajasthan where ~50% of ENA demand is currently met through imports. Carya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd, a subsidiary, also holds licenses to set up a 12 lakh hectolitre brewery.

The company operates within a single primary business segment, Liquor (Alcohol & Alcoholic Beverages), as its trading operations have been discontinued. Therefore, segment-wise disclosures as per Ind AS 108 are not applicable.

Suraj Industries has received regulatory clearance to reclassify Rajesh Gupta from the 'Promoter and Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category. BSE Limited issued a no-objection letter dated August 07, 2026, approving the request under Regulation 31A read with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This change alters the shareholding structure classification for Gupta, impacting future disclosure obligations related to his holdings. The company notified stakeholders via exchange filings on the same date.

The reclassification follows an application submitted by Suraj Industries to BSE Limited on June 03, 2026. The company had previously issued intimation letters to the exchange on May 21, 2026, May 30, 2026, and June 03, 2026, detailing the progress of the request. Snehlata Sharma, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of Suraj Industries, confirmed the receipt of the no-objection letter in the disclosure filed with the stock exchange.

The approval ensures that Rajesh Gupta’s shareholding will no longer be aggregated under the promoter group for compliance purposes. Instead, his holdings will be treated as part of the public shareholding base. This distinction is critical for maintaining accurate public float calculations and adhering to listing norms.

Regulatory Compliance Details

The reclassification is governed by specific provisions within the SEBI LODR framework. The table below outlines the key regulatory references and parties involved in the approval process.

BSE Limited has directed Suraj Industries to ensure continued compliance with subsequent material event disclosures related to this reclassification. The exchange emphasized adherence to the applicable provisions of Regulation 31A of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. Copies of the no-objection letter were also communicated to National Securities Depository Limited and Central Depository Services Limited for record-keeping.

What This Means for Shareholders

The reclassification of a promoter to the public category is a procedural adjustment that affects how shareholding patterns are reported. For investors, it signifies that Rajesh Gupta’s shares will now be counted towards the public float rather than the promoter holding. This can influence the company’s free float market capitalization metrics, although it does not alter the economic ownership or voting rights associated with the shares.
