REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

In the Financial Year 2025, yarn business improved compared to
previous year due to stable cotton price. The establishment of
exclusive vortex spinning mill has increased the yarn production.
Ramping up of Garment unit at Chengapally has increased the
Garment production. Installation of additional solar power
resources has resulted in lower power cost. High quality products
and the Goodwill earned among the leading buyers ensure
continuous Garment orders.

WAY FORWARD

industry translating into promising future, the entire industry is on
the path to embracing the recent economic development and all
set to achieve a faster growth during this fiscal.

EXPANSION AND MODERNISATION

operations, its continuous modernization is crucial for increasing
the productivity & quality, besides reducing costs and improving

SUGAR AND COGEN

As the world’s second largest Sugar producer, 'Indian Sugar
Industry' plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Consumption
has been on a growth curve historically, making it the world's
largest consuming country, whereas production has been more of
a cycle. Presently, the sugar industry is controlled at all points of
the value chain. During the year under review, the Industry
witnessed significant challenges like Sugarcane Acreage,
increased fair remunerative price by Central Government,
reduced domestic production, financial pressures etc.

ETHANOL

The restriction imposed by the Central Government in
manufacture of Ethanol, has impacted the financials of our sugar
segment. India has previously set 2030 as the year to achieve the
20% blending target, but has brought the target forward in the last
two years and has achieved 19% as of now. Advancing the

ethanol blending target is significant for India because ethanol has
a promising outlook for contributing to the country's energy
transition goals and alleviating its heavy reliance on oil imports.

In the Sugar Season 2024-25 the crushing started in December
2024. With the removal of the restriction on production of Ethanol
from juice imposed during the last season by the Central
Government, it is hoped that the Ethanol production as well the
performance may improve in the current year.
