We also achieved a record cane crushing of 24.65 lakh tonnes for the sugar season 2024–25 at our Sameerwadi facility. The restoration of the ethanol blending programme using sugarcane juice enabled us to better utilise our ethanol capacity during the crushing season.

We are also exploring multi-feedstock options for greater flexibility while undertaking debottlenecking and expansion initiatives focused on specialty products. FY25 has laid a solid foundation for future growth, and we remain committed to delivering value through innovation, sustainability, and disciplined growth."
