Commenting on the results, Mr. C.S. Nopany, Co-Chairperson, Avadh Sugar & Energy Ltd said:

“The challenging business environment for the sector continued during Financial Year 2019 on account of glut of sugar in the market, which hampered the performance during the first half of the financial year. The latter half of the year experienced many positive changes in the market dynamics. Increase in MSP to Rs. 31, export quotas, augmented prices of ethanol, Increase in ethanol realizations have all played a crucial role towards improving the operational margins. Timely support by the Central Government and State Governments has helped in stabilizing sugar prices and ensuring faster payment of cane prices to the farmers. We are hopeful that the policy decision of diverting sugar capacity towards ethanol production and encouraging exports of sugar will help to rein-in the huge inventories in the industry today”.
