Key Facts
Balrampur Chini Mills reported an 89.81% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to 102.29 crore rupees in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, compared with 53.89 crore in the year-earlier period, Financial Express reported on November 4, 2026. Revenue from operations rose 12.30% to 1,876.28 crore rupees, from 1,670.76 crore a year earlier. Sequentially, net profit increased 131.69% and revenue rose 14.63% from the first quarter of the fiscal year. Total income was 1,909.84 crore rupees, compared with 1,679.49 crore in the second quarter of the previous year. Basic earnings per share were 4.84 rupees in the reported quarter.
The sugar segment was the main revenue driver, with sales of 1,578.06 crore rupees in the second quarter, up 19.8% from the year-earlier period, according to the company presentation cited by InvestyWise. Sugar sales volume rose about 8.3%, while the average selling price increased about 14.5%. Growth in volumes combined with better prices to support segment revenue during the period. The performance did not extend to all of the company’s businesses to the same degree. Segment results showed a divergence between sugar and distillery operations.
Distillery segment revenue fell 19.9% to 324.59 crore rupees in the second quarter from a year earlier, according to the company presentation. The company attributed pressure on the segment’s margins to the lack of an adjustment to ethanol purchase prices, despite higher sugarcane prices and operating costs. The development put distillery performance at odds with growth in sugar sales and prices. The available figures did not provide a numerical value for the segment’s margins or the extent of their change. The reported revenue figures remain the quantitative indicator given for this business during the period.
In the context of the sugar market, the company’s chairman said production prospects in Maharashtra and Karnataka had been hurt by a lack of rainfall and drought-like conditions. He added that production in Uttar Pradesh was expected to remain relatively stable. The government had allowed imports of 1 million metric tons of raw sugar duty-free, he said, as part of measures aimed at ensuring supplies and curbing sharp price movements. These regional factors and the import policy form the backdrop to the company’s sugar production and supplies in its results. The statement did not specify production figures for the states or quantify the impact of these conditions on market prices.
The board declared an interim dividend of 4 rupees per share and set November 11, 2026, as the record date to determine eligible shareholders. The dividend payment will begin on November 26, according to Financial Express. These dates set out the practical timetable for eligibility after the dividend was announced with the results. The company is scheduled to hold a call to discuss second-quarter performance on November 5, 2026, at 12 noon, according to Screener data. The call comes a day after the results were published and is set to cover the quarter’s performance as outlined in the company’s notice.
