Rajshree Sugars: June 2025 Operations Reflect Season's End 📉
Let’s dive into the latest operational figures from Rajshree Sugars & Chemicals Limited (NSE: RAJSREESUG), a key player in South India’s sugar sector. The company, which also boasts strong distillery and power cogeneration businesses, recently released its operational data for June 2025 across its three sugar factories. Understanding these numbers is crucial for investors tracking the company’s performance.
Remember, the sugar season typically runs from October to September of the following year. So, the “Upto June 2025” figures cover most of the current crushing season, offering a near-complete picture for the year’s crushing cycle.
Sugar Operations: A Closer Look 🍬
The overall picture for the current sugar season (2024-25, Upto June) shows a significant dip in both cane crushed and sugar production compared to the previous year (2023-24, Upto June). This trend is consistent across all three units.
Here’s a snapshot of the sugar performance:
| Category | Unit I (Varadarajnagar) | Unit II (Mundiyampakkam) | Unit III (Semmedu) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cane Crushed (MTs) | |||
| Upto June 2024-25 | 1,00,811 | 2,76,552 | 2,50,114 |
| Upto June 2023-24 | 1,28,621 | 4,98,169 | 4,74,378 |
| Sugar Production (MTs) | |||
| Upto June 2024-25 | 9,200 | 23,421 | 20,888 |
| Upto June 2023-24 | 11,829 | 42,527 | 40,119 |
| Sugar Sales (MTs) | |||
| June 2025 | 1,808 | 1,409 | 1,265 |
| Upto June 2024-25 | 13,031 | 30,822 | 23,538 |
| Upto June 2023-24 | 9,732 | 53,979 | 44,806 |
- Cane Crushing & Production: All units show lower cane crushing and subsequent sugar production year-on-year for the Upto June period. This could indicate a shorter crushing season or lower cane availability in the current period. For instance, Unit II crushed nearly 50% less cane this season (Upto June) compared to last year.
- Sugar Sales: While year-to-date sales for 2024-25 are generally lower due to reduced production, Unit I saw an increase in sales for June 2025 alone (1,808 MTs) compared to June 2024 (877 MTs). However, Units II and III recorded lower sales in June 2025 compared to the same month last year.
Beyond Sugar: Molasses and Cogeneration 🔋

Here’s how these segments performed Upto June 2025:
| Category | Unit I (Varadarajnagar) | Unit II (Mundiyampakkam) | Unit III (Semmedu) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Molasses Production (MTs) | 6,108 | 16,389 | 13,080 |
| Molasses Own Cons. & Sales (MTs) | 7,623 | 16,397 | 17,818 |
| Power Generated (Lakh Units) | 57.58 | 354.15 | 345.37 |
| Captive Consumption (Lakh Units) | 42.71 | 102.64 | 185.64 |
| Export to Grid (Lakh Units) | 14.87 | 251.51 | 159.74 |
- Molasses: The company produced a total of 35,577 MTs of molasses across its three units Upto June 2025, which feeds into their distillery operations. The sales and consumption figures reflect the utilization of this important byproduct.
- Cogeneration: The power segment generated a substantial 757.1 Lakh Units of electricity across all units Upto June 2025. Unit II and Unit III are the largest contributors here. A significant portion of this power is exported to the grid (totaling 427.12 Lakh Units), indicating a healthy supplementary revenue stream from their sustainable energy efforts.
What Does This Mean for Investors? 🤔
The reduced cane crushing and sugar production figures for the 2024-25 season (Upto June) suggest that this has been a comparatively leaner period for sugar output for Rajshree Sugars. Factors like cane availability and climatic conditions play a crucial role in the sugar industry’s performance.
While the primary focus is on sugar, the performance of the molasses and cogeneration segments provides valuable insights into the company’s diversified income streams. Investors will be keeping a close eye on the full season’s numbers (ending September 2025) to understand the complete picture for the year. These operational updates are key to gauging the underlying business health beyond just financial statements.
