India's sugar output falls 18% to 25.82 MT till July of this season: NFCSFL
India's sugar production declined 18.38 per cent to 25.82 million tonnes till July in the current season ending October, down from the year-ago period, as major producing states reported lower output, the National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories Ltd (NFCSFL) said on Wednesday. The cooperative body expects total output to reach 26.11 million tonnes for the full season, well below the 31.9 million tonnes produced in 2023-24. Special crushing operations in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, which run from June to September, are underway and expected to add some more tonnes to the total. Seven mills are operating in Karnataka compared to one last year, while Tamil Nadu has nine mills running versus 11 in the prior year. According to NFCSFL, Uttar Pradesh, India's largest sugar producer, saw output fall to 9.27 million tonnes till July from 10.36 million tonnes a year earlier. Maharashtra, the second-largest producer, reported a steeper decline to 8.09 million tonnes from 11 million tonnes, while Karnataka dropped to 4.06 million tonnes from 5.16 million tonnes. The production decline was due to reduced sugarcane availability, adverse weather conditions, increased diversion to ethanol production, and pest and disease outbreaks. In a significant development, India achieved 20 per cent ethanol blending with petrol in 2025, five years ahead of its original 2030 target. The milestone underscores the country's push to enhance energy security and reduce carbon emissions while boosting rural incomes. "This shift indicates greater feedstock diversification but also raises important questions about the long-term sustainability of ethanol production from sugarcane, particularly in years of surplus inventory," the NFCSFL said. Maharashtra approved the establishment of multi-feed distilleries across the state on July 23, aligning with the National Bioenergy Policy and India's Ethanol Blending Programme, which now targets 30 per cent blending by 2030. Ex-mill sugar prices have hovered around Rs 3,900 per quintal following export quota announcements but showed a downward trend since mid-May. Rising festive season demand is expected to stabilise prices, crucial for mills conducting off-season maintenance, the Federation said. Looking ahead, the NFCSFL projects 35 million tonnes of sugar production in 2025-26, citing favourable monsoons, increased cane cultivation in Maharashtra and Karnataka, and a timely hike in the Fair and Remunerative Price by the government. The federation urged policy interventions, including revised ethanol procurement prices, increased minimum selling prices for sugar, and permission for sugar exports to manage excess inventory as per capita consumption declines due to growing health awareness. "Such measures are essential to safeguard the viability of sugar mills, maintain rural employment, and ensure India continues its forward momentum on both the ethanol and cooperative development fronts," said Prakash Naiknavare, Managing Director of NFCSFL.

Varun Beverages Q2 results: Profit up 5% to ₹1,325.4 cr, revenue down 2.32%
Varun Beverages Ltd, PepsiCo's largest franchise bottler, on Tuesday reported a 5.04 per cent increase in its consolidated net profit to Rs 1,325.4 crore for the second quarter that ended June 2025, helped by operational efficiencies and lower finance cost, though volume was impacted in peak summer season due to unseasonal rains. The company, which follows the calendar year as its financial year, had posted a net profit of Rs 1,261.8 crore in the April-June quarter a year ago, according to a regulatory filing from Varun Beverages Ltd (VBL). However, its revenue from operations declined 2.32 per cent to Rs 7,163.02 crore in the June quarter of FY26. It stood at Rs 7,333.67 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal. During June, VBL reported a 3 per cent drop in consolidated sales volume at 389.7 million cases in Q2 CY2025 from 401.6 million cases in Q2 CY2024, primarily due to abnormally high unseasonal rainfall throughout the quarter in India," the bottler said in its earnings statement. Its India volumes declined by 7.1 per cent, while international volumes grew by 15.1 per cent, partially offsetting the overall decline, it said. In the June quarter, "net realisation per case at the consolidated level improved by 0.5 per cent, driven by 6.6 per cent improvement in the International markets," said VBL. VBL's profit after tax (PAT) rose 5 per cent, primarily driven by operational efficiencies and lower finance costs, the company said. Total expenses declined 3.62 per cent to Rs 5,506.94 crore in the June quarter. VBL's total income in the June quarter was at Rs 7,240.17 crore, down 1.86 per cent. Commenting on the results, Chairman Ravi Jaipuria said, "In spite of unusually early onset of monsoon rains in the peak summer months in India, we could keep our realisations per case and EBITDA margins intact. Due to growth in international markets supported by strong positive currency movement in African territories, the company ended the quarter with a positive PAT, in spite of 3 per cent decline in consolidated sales volumes." Meanwhile, in a separate filing, VBL said its board has approved a second interim dividend of Rs 0.50 per share, representing 25 per cent of the face value of Rs 2 each. In the June quarter, VBL commissioned new production facilities at Prayagraj (UP), Damtal (HP), Buxar (Bihar) and Mendipathar (Meghalaya). Moreover, during the current quarter, Varun Beverages Morocco SA (a subsidiary of the company) has started commercial production of PepsiCo's snack product "Cheetos" in Morocco. VBL has franchisees for various PepsiCo products across 27 states and 7 union territories in India, which accounts for 90 per cent of the beverage sales volume of PepsiCo India. Besides, it has also franchises for the territories of Nepal, Sri Lanka, Morocco, Zambia and Zimbabwe. India is the largest market and contributes around 80 per cent of revenues from operations. Shares of Varun Beverages Ltd on Wednesday were trading at Rs 522.30 on BSE, up 1.97 per cent from the previous close.
