“Performance during the quarter was impacted due to increase in Fair & Remunerative Price without corresponding increase in the Minimum Selling Price (MSP) of Sugar and also due to the reduced sugar selling prices. The selling prices were under severe pressure due to the carryover surplus and the higher sugar production in the country during the quarter. Further, the much-expected export programme also did not come through during the quarter,” S Suresh, Managing Director, said in a statement.
The company continues to focus on sweating the assets along with cost and cash management. The board of directors has approved the closure of Pettavaithalai unit, which had not been in operations for the past few years.
The company proposes to transfer assets of the units to its other units/dispose of other assets as it deemed appropriate. Consequently, the company has charged ₹83.32 crore to the profit and loss account (representing ₹65.53 crore of impairment charges and ₹17.79 crore towards dismantling / transportation expenses) for the third quarter and nine-month period. Also, the company has impaired goodwill of ₹14.52 crore relating to Ramdurg factory based on evaluation of the recoverability, being a leased plant.
