Balrampur Chini Q2 FY27 PBIT up 166% to ₹140.75 Cr

Balrampur Chini Mills Limited (BCML) announced its Q2 FY27 financial results, reporting a strong performance with improved sugar volumes and realizations. Sugar segment PBIT increased by 166% to ₹140.75 crores compared to the previous year, driven by firm domestic prices. The company declared an interim dividend of ₹4.00 per equity share. The 80,000 TPA PLA plant is on track for commercial operations in Q4FY27. The distillery segment faced margin compression due to unchanged ethanol procurement prices despite rising costs. The company anticipates a tight sugar supply-demand balance due to deficient monsoons affecting production in key regions, which is expected to support domestic sugar prices, though the government has permitted duty-free raw sugar imports.
