Commenting on the results, Mr. C.S. Nopany, Co-Chairperson, Avadh Sugar & Energy Ltd said:
“A strong push towards ethanol manufacturing and sugar exports due to a shortfall in production in other sugar producing nations, sugar prices have firmed up during the current quarter. Sugar production in India is likely to be lower due to unseasonal, erratic and excessive rainfall during the current year and diversion of sugarcane into Ethanol manufacturing reducing the glut like situation that has been prevailing in the past few seasons. The U.P Government has increased the price of sugarcane by Rs. 25/qtl for the season 2021-22 to offset the increase in costs. Overall, it appears that balance is being restored in the supply-demand equation due to the pragmatic and forward looking policies of both the Central and the State Governments.
Avadh is continuing to focus on efficiency improvement and profitability enhancement by way of fiscal consolidation, modernization and expansion of ethanol capacity. The Company will continue to focus on deleveraging and capitalize on the opportunities that are currently prevailing.
