Shri Vasuprada Plantations Limited has secured a significant legal victory with the Kerala High Court at Ernakulam granting a favorable order dated December 16, 2025. The ruling addresses the company's rubber plantation operations and is expected to positively impact its business operations and financial position.

Court Order Details

The Kerala High Court delivered its judgment in the matter of IA No. 1 of 2025 in WA No. 599 of 2020 against State of Kerala, Forest Wildlife Department, The Conservator of Forests, Thrissur and others. The case documents were uploaded on December 19, 2025.

Operational Framework

The court has established a structured framework for the company's rubber tree operations. Shri Vasuprada Plantations will be required to file quarterly statements of accounts with the forest department. Forest officials have been granted permission to oversee the cutting, removal, and replanting activities.

This supervisory mechanism aims to ensure compliance with environmental regulations while allowing the company to proceed with its business operations.

Business Impact and Compliance

The company has indicated that this judgment is expected to have a favorable impact on both its operations and financial position. The removal of the requirement to deposit entire sale proceeds with the forest department represents a significant improvement in cash flow management for the plantation operations.

Shri Vasuprada Plantations Limited , a diversified plantation company, has announced its financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2025, revealing a mixed performance with increased revenue but a significant net loss.

Financial Highlights

The company reported a substantial increase in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹7,079.25 lakhs for the half-year, up from ₹5,766.37 lakhs in the corresponding period last year, marking a 22.8% growth. However, this top-line growth did not translate into profitability, as the company's net loss widened to ₹696.77 lakhs, compared to a loss of ₹529.95 lakhs in the previous year.

Segment Performance

Shri Vasuprada Plantations operates across three main segments:

1. Tea: Contributed ₹4,079.98 lakhs to the half-year revenue
2. Coffee
3. Rubber

The tea segment appears to be the largest contributor to the company's revenue, accounting for approximately 57.6% of the total revenue from operations for the half-year.

Operational Challenges

Despite the increase in revenue, the company faced significant operational challenges, as evidenced by the expanded loss. The reasons for this performance were not explicitly stated in the provided information.

Corporate Actions

The company announced that it was voluntarily delisted from the Calcutta Stock Exchange effective August 14, 2025. However, it continues to maintain its listing on the BSE, ensuring ongoing market presence and liquidity for its shareholders.

Management Changes

In a separate corporate development, the Board of Directors approved the re-appointment of Mr. Indrajit Roy as Wholetime Director designated as Executive Director for a further term of three years, from November 11, 2025, to November 10, 2028. This decision is subject to shareholder approval through a postal ballot.

Outlook

While the company has demonstrated strong revenue growth, the increasing losses present a challenge that management will need to address. The re-appointment of Mr. Indrajit Roy, who brings 44 years of experience in the plantation industry, may be seen as a move to leverage his expertise in navigating the current financial situation.

Investors and stakeholders will likely be watching closely to see how Shri Vasuprada Plantations plans to address its financial performance in the coming quarters, particularly in light of its improved revenue figures.
