During the year under review, the Company had incurred Loss due to
reduction in average selling price per quintal of Sugar from ?3011.28
(YE.31.03.2013) to ?2763.39 for the year ended 31st March 2014 coupled
with lower cane crush and higher interest cost.
Change in Sugar and Sugarcane Policy
The Sugarcane pricing policy based on Revenue Sharing Formula as
recommended by Dr. C Rangarajan Committee has been delegated by the
Government of India to the respective State Government for
implementation. The Government of Karnataka has promulgated The
Karnataka Sugar (Regulation of Purchase and Supply) Act 2013, which is
further amended in July 2014. The provisions of this act have to be
implemented at the earliest to solve problems relating to Cane Price
Fixation.
The Government of India has announced "Scheme for Extending Financial
Assistance to Sugar Undertaking, 2014", and under the scheme, the sugar
producing mills can borrow Term Loan equivalent to Excise Duty paid
during the preceding three years, for which the Government of India has
extended an Interest subvention of 12%. The loan is repayable in 5
years with a moratorium of 2 years.
Current Year Outlook
The All India Sugar Production is expected to be higher than the Sugar
year 2013-14. Therefore, the Sugar price would continue to be under
pressure due to excess stock. The World Market is also depressed and
therefore there may not be much scope for sustained export from the
Country.
The Company is supplying power through open access and to State Grid
under Short Term Tender process with some intervals. The neighbouring
States like Andhra Pradesh, Kerala have also resorted to purchase power
through tender process and pay a higher tariff. This will result in a
higher average realization during the year.
The Distillery is also expected to realize better revenue consequent to
the implementation of the Ethanol blending programme by the Government
of India with the proposed increase in the percentage of blending from
5% to 10%.
Deposits
All Fixed Deposits and Cumulative deposits matured and claimed as on
31.03.2014 have been paid. At the end of the financial year, 17

During the year under review, the process of manufacturing refined
sugar was implemented and during the implementation period the sugar
recovery was lower than normal. Power generated in co-gen is lesser
compared to previous year due to non-operation of plant in off- season
on account of un-economical power prices. Lower recovery, higher cane
price and sub-optimal operations of the co-generation unit, had
impacted profits.
Current year:
Due to failure of monsoon, the cane crushing is expected to be at 8.5
lakhs tonnes only. The prices of sugar and distillery products are

During the year under review, the sugar cane crush was higher compared
to previous year resulting in increased turnover. Inspite of lower
realization of sugar prices and increased cost of inputs compared to
previous year, the profits are higher on account of higher sugar cane
crush.
Future Outlook
Expansion:
M/s. Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited have sanctioned
a term loan of Rs.76 Crores for the establishment of COGEN Power Plant
of 18 MW capacity at Srinivasapura unit. The project is under
implementation. The Sugar expansion programme at Srinivasapura Unit
from 1250 TCD to 3500 TCD is under progress.
New Equity Capital:
The preliminary work for issue of equity to public is almost completed.
Current Year:
In the current year the sugar prices continue to be low. The cane
availably is adequate and in both the units it is expected to crush
approximately 11 lakh tonnes. Your directors are optimistic of
favourable working results provided the cost of inputs mainly sugar
cane does not increase to very high level without corresponding
increase in sugar, distillery and power realization.
Deposits
All Fixed Deposits and Cumulative deposits matured and claimed as on
31.03.2011 have been paid. At the end of the financial year, 11
