Price around the results
Operating costs left the sugar maker in the red
Standalone revenue did not cover expenses in Q1FY27, resulting in a Rs 5.17 cr operating loss. Depreciation of Rs 14.91 cr and interest of Rs 0.35 cr widened the loss before tax to Rs 14.46 cr.
Other income and tax benefit did not change the operating picture
Other income of Rs 5.97 cr provided some support but was insufficient to offset the operating loss and below-operating-line charges. A reported tax benefit of Rs 3.55 cr reduced the loss after tax to Rs 10.92 cr, without indicating an improvement in core operations.
