Commenting on the results, Mr. C.S. Nopany, Co-Chairperson, Avadh Sugar & Energy Ltd said: "Commenting on the results, Avadh Sugar & Energy Co-Chairperson C.S. Nopany said: “Indian sugar industry witnessed various tailwinds, elevating Indian sugar millers to a strong position globally. The change in global and domestic market dynamics enabled domestic sugar millers to achieve healthy growth.

"Indian sugar exports played a pivotal role to strengthen sugar realizations in the domestic market. The thrust towards ethanol continues to reduce cyclicality in the sugar sector. Indian ethanol demand has a huge gap to fill which will continue the capex cycle in the sugar industry, and with the introduction of flexi fuel vehicles, the ethanol demand can reach up to 4,000 crore litres in the next five years."

Nopany said the company's recently enhanced ethanol capacity will improve profitability.

"The generated free cash flow was utilized towards strengthening the balance sheet and repaying outside liabilities. The persistence towards sustainable growth will enable your company to create value for all stakeholders,” he added.

ASEL'S board has recommended a dividend of Rs 10 per equity share (100 percent of FV of Rs 10 per equity share).
