Commenting on the results, C.S. Nopany, Co-Chairperson, Avadh Sugar & Energy, said: “Despite initial expectations, SS 22-23 has experienced a lower-than-anticipated, domestic sugar production and a notable decline in overall exports. Ethanol has become a mainstay of the Sugar Industry and has not only helped the energy security of the country but has also helped us transform from a sugar company into a bio-fuels organization.
At Avadh, we have embraced this transformation, and this is visible in our evolving revenue mix, enhanced margins, and improved leverage. We continue to invest our efforts at cost and production optimization to help deliver strong returns to our stakeholders, keeping a balance between growth and deleveraging.”
