K.M.Sugar Mills

What K.M.Sugar Mills does

K.M. Sugar Mills Limited is an integrated sugar and ethanol manufacturer based in Uttar Pradesh, India, publicly listed on both BSE and NSE with its registered office at 76 Eldeco Greens, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. The company operates a 9,000 Tonnes Crushed per Day (TCD) sugar facility at Motinagar in Faizabad (now Ayodhya), producing refined sugar grades L 31, M 31, M 30, S 31, and S 30, and employs between 251 and 500 people. Its market capitalization stands at approximately ₹243-246 crore (~$29M USD) as of late FY2025-26.

The business spans four interlinked product lines: sugar, a 45 KLPD distillery producing Rectified Spirit, Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA), and ethanol, a 25 MW bagasse-based cogeneration power plant selling electricity to the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL), and a bio-manure brand (Moti Super) derived from press mud. This integration enables the firm to monetize every output of sugarcane — sugar, molasses-derived alcohol, and bagasse-derived power — under a single operating perimeter.

Revenue for FY2025-26 was approximately ₹658.38 crore (~$78-79M USD), with EBITDA of ~₹106 crore and net profit of ₹53.42 crore (up ~50% YoY). The revenue model rests on three regulatory-anchored streams: government-allocated ethanol offtake under India's E20 blending program, regulated sugar pricing and releases, and a long-dated PPA with UPPCL for power. The company is undergoing a structural change with the NCLT-approved demerger of its distillery division into KM Spirits and Allied Industries Limited, effective April 1, 2026, indicating a strategy to enable focused capital allocation and potentially separate investor narratives for each business.
