Dalmia Bharat Sugar Ltd distillery at its Samastipur unit

stock rose about 35.6% in August, one of the biggest gains among sugar stocks, as the sector rallied on expectations of tighter supply and higher sugar prices. The company also disclosed that Kapil Nema has been appointed Deputy Executive Director – Sugar & Ethanol Business, effective September 1, 2026, succeeding Anoop Singh. In parallel, the board approved a ₹49 crore investment to expand the rectified-spirit capacity at the Samastipur distillery from 200 KLPD to 300 KLPD, with completion targeted by December 31, 2026. These developments come after a weak Q1 FY27, where consolidated net profit fell sharply due to higher cane costs and lower sugar volumes, even as the distillery segment provided some offset.
