Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited reported a loss of ₹1,079.59 lakhs for the second quarter ending September 30, 2025, as revealed during their Board meeting on November 13, 2025. The company's total income for the quarter was ₹7,028.65 lakhs, with operational revenue declining to ₹6,804.06 lakhs. This downturn is attributed to challenges such as lower sugarcane availability due to inadequate rainfall and pest attacks, which hindered production capabilities and revenue generation.

The company's expenses totaled ₹8,108.24 lakhs, outpacing its income and leading to a significant loss before tax. Notably, the sugar segment reported a loss of ₹829.87 lakhs, while the distillery operations managed a profit of ₹437.23 lakhs. The overall financial performance reflects a stark contrast to the previous year, as Kothari Sugars grapples with the seasonal nature of the sugar industry, where quarterly results may not accurately predict annual outcomes.

Despite the adverse financial indicators, Kothari Sugars remains focused on improving operational efficiencies. The company's total assets as of September 30, 2025, stood at ₹41,917.42 lakhs, while total liabilities were recorded at ₹13,587.26 lakhs. The management has acknowledged the challenges faced and expressed intentions to navigate through these difficulties by optimizing production and addressing the factors impacting sugarcane availability.
