Dhruv M. Sawhney, chairman and managing director of Triveni Engineering & Industries, said, The year gone by presented several profitability challenges to the company, especially in the sugar and alcohol businesses, while our power transmission business delivered another year of stellar performance in revenues, profitability, and order booking. The company is hopeful of an improved performance in the coming year through proactive measures in our sugar and alcohol businesses.
Following the general trend of lower sugarcane crush and recoveries in the state of Uttar Pradesh, the sugarcane crush for the company (on a standalone basis) in the just concluded Sugar Season (SS) 2024-25 was marginally lower at 8.19 million tonnes. The decline in crush took place in four sugar units: Rani Nangal, Milak Narayanpur and Chandanpur in the Central UP and Ramkola in the Eastern UP. The chief reasons are the climatic factors, such as heavy rainfall and waterlogging in certain regions, and the spread of pests and red rot disease, which reduced the yields and recovery considerably. The sugarcane development teams have chalked out multi-pronged strategy to improve performance through an intensive continued push for a varietal substitution programme to reduce the proportion of the vulnerable variety Co238, especially in low-lying/water-logging-prone areas and to substitute it by other high-sucrose and high-yield varieties. In addition, our focus would also be on crop protection through rigorous surveillance and large-scale preventives and extensive farmer engagement, especially on nurtured demo plots to showcase higher yields through superior agronomic practices.
Sugar prices have remained at healthy levels during FY 25, particularly in Q4 FY 25. We expect these trends to continue given the lower sugar stocks in the country on a year-on-year basis. We believe that a continually increasing portfolio of refined sugar and pharmaceutical-grade sugar production, which now stands at 73% of overall sugar production, augurs well for sugar realizations for the company. We continue to make judicious investments in our facilities to enhance sugarcane crush rate, sugar quality, and efficiencies.
In our alcohol business, the company commissioned a new multi-feed distillery during the year at Rani Nangal, which boosted production over the previous year. However, the profitability was severely affected, majorly due to low-margin maize operations, lower sales volume of ethanol produced from molasses and non-recovery of fixed expenses during the period the distilleries remained closed due to shortage of feedstocks. In view of firm sugar prices, we switched operations in our sugar units (except one) to C-heavy molasses in the latter part of the season. While this strategy improves the overall profitability of the company, it reduces the profitability of the alcohol business due to lower sales volume of ethanol. We are focusing on improving the sugarcane crush, which will also help in increasing molasses availability and address supply chain issues relating to grain operations to improve the margin structure. With the option of three grain feedstocksmaize, SFG, and damaged food grains (DFG)we are aiming to be nimble to seize all opportunities to lower procurement costs. We are also hopeful that the government will address the feedstock and profitability challenges in various feedstocks as it remains committed to the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) program with the formation of an inter-ministerial group to work on a roadmap beyond EBP-20, i.e., 20% blending targets by 2025-26.
In our engineering businesses, the power transmission business reported remarkable performance with new milestones achieved with respect to revenues, profitability and order booking in FY 25. During the year, the company also secured multiple breakthrough qualification orders across targeted geographies and industries in Gears, enhancing its competitive positioning and supporting its strategic objective of expanding its global footprint. The business is also executing expansions to scale up operations to an annual capacity in the Gears segment alone to Rs 700 crore (up from Rs 400 crore presently) by September 2026. Our intensified marketing efforts globally, coupled with the capacity enhancement programme are positioning us well for sustained growth. In the water business, the year that went by was muted in terms of market activity and finalization of orders. We expect this to improve in the coming years, and the business is well-placed in terms of bids and credentials.
The proposed scheme for amalgamation with SSEL and demerger of the power transmission business is awaiting approval of stock exchanges/SEBI. The scheme is expected to enhance value discovery and operational efficiencies. This development reflects an ongoing commitment to delivering sustainable growth and long-term returns to our stakeholders.
Meanwhile, the companys board has recommended a dividend of Rs 2.50 per equity share for the financial year ended 31 March 2025, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). The board has also fixed Monday, 1 September 2025, as the record date for the purpose of ascertaining the entitlement of members/beneficial owners to the said dividend.

Reduce time lag between financial results and annual reports: Sebi to CFOs
Markets regulator Sebi on Friday urged Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) to reduce the time lag between the announcement of financial results and the publication of full annual reports, which is aimed at enhancing investors' confidence. Additionally, CFOs have been encouraged to deepen their engagement with audit committees and auditors, ensuring more collaborative and accountable financial disclosures, Sebi Whole Time Member Ananth Narayan said at an event here. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Apart from highlighting the vital role CFOs play in upholding public trust, Narayan spoke about recent trends in capital formation, the opportunities and risks ahead, and the importance of co-creating effective regulations to foster sustained capital growth . "Currently, the gap between annual results and full annual reports ranges between 70-140 days. The full report with notes to accounts, internal controls report, audit key matters, and CARO (Companies Auditor's Report Order) disclosures is vastly more informative. Shortening this gap would significantly enhance transparency for investors," he added. At the ETCFO NextGen 2025 event on Friday, he stressed the need for CFOs to facilitate audit committees and auditors in shaping the audit plan for the year and suggested that auditors should participate in audit committee meetings beyond just discussing their specific items. Live Events This, he further said, would help boost trust and open more channels of communication among stakeholders. According to Narayan, the role of the CFO has evolved dramatically from being a record-keeper to becoming a forward-looking value architect. "When you (CFO) sign off on financial statements , it's not a routine formality. It's a solemn promise that what's presented is a true and fair view of the enterprise's financial health. That promise is the bedrock of capital markets. If that trust is broken, the damage can be immense," he added. He stressed that CFOs must go beyond mere compliance with accounting standards and embrace their underlying principles, not just the letter, but the spirit of the law. Narayan pointed out the rapid growth of India's securities market ecosystem, which has expanded from 4.2 crore unique investors in March 2020 to 13 crore at present. Mutual funds alone account for 6 crore unique investors, nearly triple the number from six years ago. In FY 2024-25, mutual funds mobilised a record Rs 6 lakh crore in equity-oriented risk-seeking funds. Also, FPIs held Rs 71 lakh crore in equity assets in India as of May 2025. At the same time, he emphasised the importance of safeguarding investor trust. He cautioned against Type I errors, such as governance failures, tech breakdowns, fraud, and manipulation that can severely damage this trust. Equally, he warned of Type II errors, where excessive regulation might stifle innovation and growth. As AI, automation, and energy-related technological shifts accelerate, nurturing business creation becomes more vital than ever. Unfortunately, Narayan noted, there have been breaches of trust resulting in Type I errors. These include instances of funds being siphoned off from listed entities, sharp accounting practices around asset and investment valuations that mislead the public, and insider trading involving undisclosed information being exploited for personal gain at the expense of retail investors. He also cautioned against the pitfalls of over-regulation, which could lead to Type II errors and hamper genuine capital formation. Narayan called on CFOs and auditors to act as active partners in shaping fair and balanced rules. He pointed out that Sebi's consultative processes, including advisory committees, public consultations, and regulatory working groups, are designed to include expert input, and suggested it might be time for CFOs to formally organise their voices for representation in these forums. Raising concerns about current valuation practices, Narayan said there is a risk or at least a perception of "valuation shopping", where entities seek out the most favourable valuations. "Just as Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) now disclose rating histories and are held to standards, it may be time for valuers to disclose assumptions, sensitivity ranges, and track records, and be held accountable for egregious deviations," he added.
