Notes:
1 Considering the seasonal nature of industry, the results of any quarter may not be a true and/or proportionate reflection of the annual performance of the Company.
2 The Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs) aggregating to Rs.3,483.25 crore issued by the Company to the Joint Lenders’ Forum (JLF) of the Company in accordance with
the Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A Scheme) towards the conversion of a part of the unsustainable debt, provides the holder an option to exercise
the right to convert the outstanding OCDs into the equity shares of the Company at a price in accordance with applicable laws (including the ICDR Regulations). There is a
contractual obligation related to the premium payable on OCD at the time of redemption of OCD, which stipulates that the YTM (Yield to maturity) being the difference between
weighted average interest and coupon rate interest is payable as redemption premium at the time of redemption of OCD which are redeemable in 13 equal instalments
commencing from the financial year 2024-25. The Company considers such premium to be paid contingent on the occurrence of the event of redemption of OCDs, the YTM of
Rs.3,236.17 crore from the date of allotment of OCDs till Sept 30, 2024 (including Rs.176.34 crore and Rs. 350.76 crore for the quarter and six month ended on September 30,
2024 respectively) treated as a contingent liability and would be accounted for as finance cost at the time of redemption of respective OCDs. Auditors have drawn qualification
for non-provision of YTM premium up to September 30, 2024. The maturity of OCD due in March 2025 is shown under the head non current borrowings, since in the opinion of
the management redemption due in March 2025, is contingent upon certain condition. Auditors have drawn emphasis of matter in their limited review report.
3 The Company has strategic investments of Rs. 2,509.19 crore in its subsidiaries, which includes investments, trade receivables, loans, and accumulated interest on these loans.
Management is undertaking requisite steps to recover the carrying value of investments and loans. The auditors have highlighted this matter in their limited review report.
Additionally, adhering to principles of prudence and conservatism, the Company has deferred recognition of interest income amounting to Rs. 28.34 crore (compared to Rs.
28.26 crore in the previous year) for the quarter and Rs. 56.37 crore (compared to Rs. 56.21 crore in the previous year) for the six months ended 30.09.2024 on inter-corporate
loans, which will be recognized in the books upon realization.
4 The Company has repaid its entire sustainable debts to all lenders and there is no outstanding towards sustainable debt. As on date, the Company's account is Standard and
Regular with all the lenders.
5 The Finance Act 2024 introduces certain changes that will affect the taxation on long-term capital gains, although having no impact on the operational results but may affect the
Company's deferred tax position. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of these changes on its tax provision, and the related adjustments, if any, will be
reflected in subsequent periods / annual accounts.
6 The Company has positive EBITDA in the current quarter and in previous years, but at PBT level it has incurred losses on account of lower availability of sugarcane for crushing,
under capacity utilisation, lower sugar recovery, reduced production of by- products. Lower availability of sugarcane for crushing was due to continued outstanding sugarcane
dues. These factors were impacting operational efficiency of the business resulting in inadequate cash surplus for timely payment of cane dues and to promote adequate cane
development activities.
With the repayment of entire sustainable term debt, the finance cost has reduced and the same will improve the Company's liquidity position which help the Company to reduce
its cane dues, increase the cane development activities, improve the operational efficiencies which will lead to higher cane crush, better capacity utilization, higher sugar
recovery, increased sugar production and optimization of by products.
The Government is also considering increase in MSP (Minimum Selling Price) of sugar, up to Rs 39-40 per kg from the present MSP from Rs 31/- per kg. Additionally an upward
revision in ethanol prices is also expected which will improve the liquidity of the Company.
The Central Government has even lifted the restrictions on manufacturing of ethanol from B-heavy molasses and sugarcane syrup which will further help the Company to plan its
sugarcane crushing as per optimum product mix for improved results depending upon market dynamics. Further, the diversion of sugar for ethanol production will cease the
scenario of excessive sugar production helping in increase in sugar prices as well.
The Company's investment in equity share of group's power business have good potential of an upside as per its fair value resulting into improvement in the net worth of the
Company. The Company is the largest integrated Sugar and Ethanol manufacturing company in India with 14 sugar factories (1,36,000 TCD), 6 Distilleries (800 KLD) and
cogeneration (449 MW) facilities and crushes around 14% of the total sugar cane grown in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The Company has huge potential for improvement and
growth due to its scale, size and vintage. The Company also expects to receive accrued benefits of Rs 1,860 crore including interest as on September 30, 2024, under the Sugar
Industries Promotion Policy, 2004 for which it is entitled as per Court orders but presently, the matter is sub-judice.

Based on above factors , the Company is confident in its progress towards achieving self-sustainability. Accordingly, the financial results are presented on a going-concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. This matter has been referred by auditors in their limited review
report as well.
7 Previous periods figures have been regrouped/ rearranged/ reworked/ restated wherever necessary to conform to the current period classification.
