Balrampur Chini Mills Limited Announces Q3 & 9M FY26 Financial Results
Balrampur Chini Mills Limited has announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025.
Strong Operational Performance in Q3 FY26
BCML delivered a healthy performance during the quarter, reporting improved distillery volumes and better realizations in the sugar segment.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Vivek Saraogi, Chairman and Managing Director, Balrampur Chini Mills Limited, said:
“During the quarter, the sugar segment delivered strong performance, driven by improved realizations despite the increase in SAP of sugarcane from Rs. 370 per quintal to Rs. 400 per quintal, which led to higher production costs.
The distillery segment delivered stable performance driven by higher volumes. However, the absence of revision in ethanol prices resulted in a decline in margins.
Sugarcane crushing during the quarter was approximately 8.4% higher at 387.6 lakh quintals owing to the early start of a few plants and better capacity utilization. Gross sugar recovery (C-heavy terms) improved marginally by 8 basis points to 10.63%. Despite a decline in sugarcane area, crushing for the Company is expected to be higher due to additional area allotted by the State Government.”
India’s net sugar production (post diversion to ethanol) is estimated at 28.8 MMT, up approximately 10.3% from 26.1 MMT in the previous season. The Government has announced an export quota of 1.5 MMT for the season. Considering domestic consumption and exports at 29.2 MMT, closing stock is expected to be around 4.6 MMT as on September 30, 2026, indicating a drawdown from last year’s opening inventory of 5 MMT.
On the policy front, concerns regarding ethanol imports from the US for blending have eased following the trade deal. However, the pending revision in domestic ethanol prices continues to remain an overhang. Despite a significant increase of approximately 16.4% in sugarcane FRP and operational costs, ethanol prices under the Juice and B-Heavy routes have not been revised since ESY 2022-23. The Company emphasized t

For Q3 FY26:
-
EBITDA stood at ₹42.6 crore, up 31% YoY and 6% sequentially
-
Profit After Tax (PAT) increased 33% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ)
-

Our deep customer equity is enabling us to leverage capacity expansion, ensuring revenue keeps pace with volumes. Our profit after tax increased by 28% year-on-year, underscoring the operating leverage in the business.
We remain confident about the long-term growth prospects of CFS and ICD operations in India, especially at a time when global trade dynamics are being reset. Recent trade agreements signed by India with the European Union and the United States are expected to provide a meaningful fillip to manufacturing activity and India’s EXIM trade.”

CDSL Hosts 3rd Reimagine Symposium; SEBI Chief Launches Amar Chitra Katha Investor Series
Mumbai, Feb 11: Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), Asia’s first listed depository and custodian of over 17.5 crore demat accounts, hosted the third edition of its annual symposium, “Reimagine: Securities Market through Data Synergy,” in Mumbai.
The event brought together policymakers, regulators, Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs), intermediaries, industry leaders, and technology innovators to deliberate on the evolving role of data in building future-ready securities markets. As part of the Reimagine platform, CDSL also announced the winners of the inaugural Reimagine Ideathon 2026, a nationwide competition inviting students to reimagine investor education for a Viksit Bharat.
Leadership Participation
The symposium was presided over by Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairman, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), as Chief Guest. It was graced by Shri Sandip Pradhan, Whole-Time Member, SEBI, and Shri Keki Mistry, Former Vice Chairman & CEO, HDFC, as Guests of Honour, alongside eminent speakers and panelists from across the securities market ecosystem.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairman, SEBI, said:
“For decades, when we spoke of market infrastructure, we meant exchanges, clearing corporations, depositories etc. Today, there is another layer of infrastructure that is just as critical, though largely invisible — data. Data is the new plumbing of capital markets: unseen, indispensable, and powerful. In this world, the quality of data, the security around it, and the governance frameworks that guide its use matter as much as capital and liquidity themselves. I also commend CDSL for organising the Reimagine Ideathon challenge, which has encouraged students across the country to participate in our investor education and awareness mission.”
Focus on Data, Trust and Market Resilience
The symposium featured three thematic panel discussions centered on:
-
Data-driven innovation at scale
-
Trust as a cornerstone of market growth
-
Regulatory frameworks and cybersecurity preparedness
-
Organisational and cultural shifts required for a data-centric securities ecosystem
Setting the context, Shri Nehal Vora, Managing Director & CEO, CDSL, said:
“The Reimagine Symposium reflects CDSL’s commitment to encouraging collaborative dialogue across the securities market ecosystem. As markets evolve in an increasingly digital environment, leveraging data responsibly and securely will be key to strengthening investor confidence and building inclusive and resilient securities markets.”
Shri Sandip Pradhan, Whole-Time Member, SEBI, added:
“As India’s securities markets continue to deepen and broaden, the role of data-driven insights and investor education becomes increasingly critical. Strengthening investor awareness and encouraging responsible participation are essential to sustaining market integrity and investor confidence. Platforms such as Reimagine provide a valuable forum to drive innovation while reinforcing these foundational objectives.”
Shri Keki Mistry, Chair of the Reimagine Ideathon Jury, noted:
“Platforms like the Reimagine Symposium are important for shaping the conversation on the future of India’s securities market, particularly as data and technology become central to market infrastructure. The Ideathon added a refreshing dimension by engaging students and encouraging practical, implementable ideas.”
Shri Gurumoorthy Mahalingam, Chairperson and Public Interest Director, CDSL, emphasized:
“India’s capital markets are entering a phase where data, technology and governance must move in alignment. Channelising domestic savings into productive market-linked assets, while ensuring strong data governance and investor protection, will be critical to funding India’s long-term growth.”
Reimagine Ideathon 2026 Winners Announced
A key highlight of the symposium was the felicitation of winners of the Reimagine Ideathon 2026.
-
Project Sahayak from Goa Institute of Management emerged as the winner, receiving the top prize of ₹5 lakh.
-
Project Khet Nivesh from Shri Ramswaroop Memorial College, Lucknow, secured the first runner-up position with ₹3 lakh.
-
Project Nivi from BNM Institute of Technology, Bangalore, won the second runner-up prize of ₹2 lakh.
The competition attracted over 1,000 registrations from institutions across 21 states and 2 Union Territories, with a total prize pool of ₹12 lakh.
AI-Powered Panelist Debuts
In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the symposium featured an AI-powered panelist that participated alongside industry experts, offering real-time, data-driven insights on key themes. The initiative demonstrated the growing role of artificial intelligence in strengthening market intelligence and decision-making frameworks.
Launch of Amar Chitra Katha Investor Education Series
As part of CDSL’s broader investor education initiatives, SEBI Chairman Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey launched CDSL Investor Protection Fund’s Amar Chitra Katha comic series in 12 languages at the symposium. The series aims to translate complex financial concepts into engaging, story-led narratives to promote informed investing across diverse audiences.
