FY25 Highlights: Stabilizing Despite Headwinds
- Total Revenue (FY25): ₹5,559 crore (vs ₹6,089 crore in FY24)
- Net Profit: ₹4.38 crore
- EBITDA: Positive and steady
- Debt Reduction: Improved financial flexibility through lower interest outgo
Despite a drop in revenue, the company managed to turn a profit, thanks to improved internal cost controls and an emphasis on margin protection.
Strategic Outlook and Industry Trends
India’s increasing push for ethanol blending up to 30% by 2027 presents a lucrative growth avenue for integrated sugar and ethanol producers like BHSL. With the ability to divert excess sugarcane toward ethanol production, the company is well-positioned to benefit from policy tailwinds.
In addition, domestic sugar prices firming up to ₹4,000/quintal have helped stabilize profit margins across the sector. The company also awaits clearance of ₹1,893.51 crore in pending incentives under the Sugar Industry Promotion Policy, a move that could significantly improve liquidity.

- Modernization of sugar mills
- Expansion in ethanol capacity
- Long-term shareholder value creation
With its robust infrastructure, experienced management, and alignment with national sustainability goals, BHSL aims to transform itself into a bioenergy and sugar industry leader.
