Risk intelligence
Material risks this quarter
high
ENA price erosion due to oversupply
ENA realizations have fallen to ₹59-60/liter from ~₹70 earlier, as many ethanol producers divert capacity to ENA. Margins are under pressure despite lower maize costs.
Potential reduction in ethanol procurement price
An analyst raised the risk that the government may reduce ethanol prices from ₹70/liter given lower maize costs. Management acknowledged this possibility.
Biodiesel plant idling due to unviable prices
The 75 KL biodiesel plant is not operating because OMC prices (~₹80-90/liter) are unviable. Management expects policy improvement but no timeline.
