SBEC Sugar reported a consolidated net profit of ₹9.15 cr for Q1 FY27, turning around from a net loss of ₹26.05 cr in Q1 FY26, largely driven by a ₹17.03 cr share of profit from a joint venture. Consolidated revenue from operations fell 17.4% YoY to ₹98.99 cr from ₹119.88 cr. On a standalone basis, the company posted a net loss of ₹4.32 cr. Statutory auditors issued a qualified opinion, citing that standalone losses are understated by ₹10.63 cr due to improper inventory valuation above cost and by ₹7.76 cr due to non-provisioning of cane dues interest.
