EID Parry India Ltd’s consolidated net profit dropped in the June quarter despite a slight increase in revenue, signalling a challenging start to the new financial year amid volatile commodity prices and fluctuating demand.
EID Parry India Ltd said its consolidated net profit fell in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, even as revenue rose modestly, underscoring a mixed start to the new financial year. The company reported consolidated profit of ₹311.50 crore, down from ₹464.46 crore a year earlier, while revenue from operations increased to ₹9,017.52 crore from ₹8,719.75 crore.
The Chennai-based sugar and consumer goods group also said total consolidated income eased to ₹9,047.45 crore and expenses climbed to ₹8,624.59 crore, pressuring margins. Profit before tax declined to ₹422.86 crore from ₹615.42 crore, although the company noted that the year-earlier quarter included exceptional items, which limits direct comparison. Basic earnings per share slipped to ₹7.96 from ₹13.85.
On a standalone basis, the company posted a net loss after tax of ₹89.29 crore, deeper than the ₹27.92 crore loss recorded in the same quarter last year. Standalone revenue from operations slipped to ₹733.12 crore from ₹755.91 crore. Within that segment, sugar revenue rose to ₹409.78 crore on higher sales volumes, but distillery revenue fell to ₹254.82 crore as off-take of extra neutral alcohol weakened. The consumer products group also saw revenue drop sharply to ₹94.20 crore, while nutraceuticals edged into a marginal profit.
The latest quarterly numbers follow a volatile year for EID Parry. Business Standard reported that the company ended the year to March 2026 with a net loss of ₹333.30 crore in the March quarter, while full-year revenue climbed to ₹38,534.08 crore. The company’s audited results for the year ended March 31, 2026, also showed lower annual profit despite stronger sales, suggesting that earnings remain sensitive to swings in commodity prices, inventory dynamics and demand across its business lines.
