Commenting on the standalone financial performance for the year ended 31st March 2015, Mr.V.Ramesh, Managing Director said “During the year the Company posted an impressive performance in the face of a volatile and uncertain environment. This was a challenging year for the company, particularly for the sugar business in the second half of the financial year caused by free falling sugar prices. During the year the company achieved a Profit After tax (PAT) of 148 crores compared to
27 crores in the corresponding previous year. The higher profit was mainly on account of better realisation from sales of sugar during the first half of the financial year and focused operations with improved efficiencies through the year. The performance of the Bio product division and Cogen operations was better than the last year. The higher dividend income from the Sub sidiary Company and disposal of unproductive assets also contri buted to the performance of the Company during the year. The performance of the Company was sat isfactory especially in the light of the negative sentiments prevailing in the Country’s sugar industry caused by the falling sugar prices, particularly in the second half of the year.”
