Additionally, the Company also completed a key phase of its capacity expansion at Dhule during the quarter.” Revenue from Operations was Rs. 2,062 million, an increase of 21.5% YoY. Gross Profit increased to Rs. 689 million from Rs. 412 million in Q1 FY26, with Gross Profit Margin improving to 33.4% from 24.3%. EBITDA was Rs. 154 million, translating into an EBITDA Margin of 7.5% and PAT for the quarter was Rs. 92 million. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East led to an increase in energy costs, which impacted margins during the quarter. Export revenue increased 24.5% YoY to Rs. 723 million during the quarter. Higher plant availability and normalized production supported the Company’s ability to cater to demand across international markets. While the native starch market remains competitive, the pricing pressure has moderated. The Company remains focused on deepening its presence across existing markets and increasing export volumes as utilization of the expanded capacity improves. A key operational development during the quarter was the commissioning of the expanded native starch manufacturing capacity at Dhule. The Company had originally planned to add 1,000 TPD of capacity and was able to scale the addition to 1,250 TPD. This has increased Sanstar’s total installed manufacturing capacity from 1,100 TPD to 2,350 TPD. Furthermore, The derivatives facility at Dhule is expected to be commissioned during FY2026-27. The expanded manufacturing base, along with the upcoming derivatives capacity, will enable the Company to increase its participation across value added starch based products and cater to a wider range of applications across different industries. Another important development was the completion of the preferential allotment to Corn Products Development Inc., a subsidiary of Ingredion Incorporated. The Company raised approximately Rs. 1,983 Million through the issue, with Corn Products Development Inc holding approximately 9% of Sanstar Limited following the allotment. The partnership provides Sanstar access to Ingredion’s global R&D infrastructure, technical expertise and formulation capabilities. The investment also strengthens the Company’s balance sheet to support capacity expansion and diversification into value added specialty products, while enhancing its ability to engage with global customers. As part of its focus on reducing operating costs, the Company commissioned a 3 MW solar power plant at Kutch in August 2026 at an investment of approximately Rs. 7.5 cror [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
