EID Parry reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹389 crore, flat YoY, as sugar segment benefited from better realizations (₹40/kg vs ₹37.69) but consumer products declined due to channel restructuring and lower pulse prices. Distillery volumes were stable but ethanol pricing remains stagnant. The refinery business saw cost improvements but spreads compressed due to global surplus. Management guided for a stronger Q4 in sugar (seasonal) and expects consumer product correction to conclude by Q4, with new category entry plans announced in May. Key risk: policy inaction on MSP/ethanol pricing could continue to pressure margins.
