On a stand-alone basis, the Company achieved a turnover of Rs 4,368.78 crore as
compared to Rs 4,919.15 crore in the previous year mainly due to lower volume of sugar
sales in 2011-12 and sale of raw sugar in 2010-11 inspite of higher production and higher
sales realisation as compared to the previous year. The loss after tax stood at Rs 234.57
crore as compared to the profit of Rs 12.00 crore in the previous year. On a consolidated
basis, the turnover including other income was Rs 4,451.30 crore compared to Rs 5,081.90
crore in the previous year. The loss after tax and minority interest is
Rs 320.1 1 crore as against profit of Rs 21.45 crore in the previous year.
The financial and operating results for current financial year are not strictly
comparable with those of previous financial year 2010-11 to the extent that current
financial year includes figures pertaining to the erstwhile subsidiary Bajaj Eco-Tec
Products Limited for half year viz. from Appointed Date as April 01, 2012 to September 30,
2012 consequent upon the merger of BEPL with the Company whereas in the previous year
these were for the Company only.
Dividend
The Board of Directors of the Company recommend, for consideration of shareholders at
the 81st Annual General Meeting, payment of dividend of 10% C 0.10 per share) on equity
shares of the face value of Rs 1/- each for the year ended September 30, 2012. The
dividend paid during the previous year was 40%. Despite absence of profits during the
year, the proposed dividend of 10% being the maximum amount payable out of the Reserves as
per provisions of "The Companies (Declaration of Dividend out of Reserves) Rules
1975" is recommended to maintain the continuity in payment of dividend of the
Company.
Operations
The Company continues to be the number one sugar and ethanol manufacturing company in
India with its fourteen sugar plants having an aggregate sugarcane crushing capacity of
1,36,000 TCD, six distilleries having aggregate capacity to produce Industrial Alcohol of
800 kilolitres per day and fourteen co-generation plants having a total power generation
capacity of 443 MW, two MDF manufacturing plants having capacity of 1,20,000 MT per annum
and one PB manufacturing plant having capacity of 35,000 MT per annum.
Sugar
The operations during the financial year ended September 30, 2012 at all the fourteen
sugar plants were satisfactory.
During the financial year 2011-12, the Company crushed 12.756 MMT of sugarcane and
processed 671.2 MT of raw sugar. The recovery of sugar from sugarcane was at 9.14% as
against 9.31% in the previous year. The Company produced 11,65,761 MT sugar from sugarcane
and 611 MT sugar from raw sugar and 6,47,585 MT molasses during the financial year
2011-12.
The Company sold 11,38,494 MT of sugar as against 13,74,407 MT during the previous
year, registering a decline of 17%. The Company also sold 95,407 MT of molasses as against

Power
The operations of power generation were smooth at all of our fourteen sugar plants.
While most of the power generated by us continued to be used captively to run our plants,
the surplus power was sold to the Uttar Pradesh State grid.
Power generation was substantially higher at 8,21,215 MW as compared to 5,56,578 MW in
the previous year recording a growth of 48%. This was achieved primarily out of higher
quantum of bagasse available from the crushing of sugarcane and optimum utilisation of
co-gen capacities resulting from efficient planning. The Company exported 3,46,180 MW of
power during the year as against 1,75,842 MW during the previous year, an increase of 97%.
Bagasse Boards
During the period from April 01, 2012 (Appointed Date of Amalgamation) to September 30,
2012, the Company manufactured 4,905 MT of Particle Board (PB) and 10,118 MT of Medium
Density Fibre Board (MDF) at its two plants at Kinauni and Palia Kalan, respectively.
Operations at the Kundarkhi plant remained suspended due to non-availability of adequate
quantity of sugarcane bagasse in and around that area.
The Company sold 5,513 MT of PB and 14,415 MT of MDF during the period.

Subsidiaries` Operations
Bajaj Eco-Tec Products Limited (Amalgamated with BHL)
During the year ended March 31, 2012, Bajaj Eco-Tec Products Limited (BEPL) recorded a

pressure.

22. Palia designed molasses cooler resulted in bringing down the temperature of final
molasses.
3. Future Plan of Action
1. Use of surplus condensate for make-up water for process cooling tower.
2. Separate cooling water circuit for power house to reduce pumping power requirement
and better control.
3. Mechanisation of sugarcane planting, Inter-culture operations and fertiliser
application.
4. Development of link road through cane development councils.
5. More emphasis on water conservation by drip irrigation system.
6. Inter cropping and cane plantation by Trench opener method to increase.
7. Waste heat recovery from Sulfur furnace.

soluble material negligible.
9. Molasses conditioner brix & temperature controlled automation.
10. Strengthening of Sugarcane Information System (S.I.S.).
11. Cane area survey of 100% cane area to be conducted by GPRS enabled HHC & also
planning to install HHCs in all our centres in forthcoming season.
12. Emphasis integrated nutrients & pest management in order to increase yield,
quality of sugarcane, maintain soil health and protect environment.
13. More effective implementation of Integrated Nutrient Management (I.N.M.).
14. Better ratoon management practices to be made popular in the area in order to
increase yield of ratoon and promote multi ratooning.
15. Promoting more use of organic manure (Bajaj Javik) for improving the fertility
status of soil.
16. Establishing soil testing laboratory.
17. To develop an alternate and a better source of Phosphate for which PSB (Phosphate
Solubilising Bacteria) culture.
18. Introduction of new agricultural implements like Mould Board plough (for Deep
cultivation), Rotavator (for Trash Mulching), etc
19. To install computerised weighbridge at centres.
20. Wide row cane planting for water conservation.
21. Stress on increasing co-gen with existing machinery.
22. Installation of Mechanical Circulators for Low Grade Pans.
23. Installation of Planetary Gear Box for old Crystalliser Drive.
24. Installation of SEDL system to reduce the consumption of injection water.
25. Installation of DCH for Molasses heating through ammonia gases.
26. Installation of I.C. make Sugar Grader in place of old 4 Deck Graders.
27. Installation of CIGAR system for use of flash vapour.
28. Replacement of old Batch Type 750 Kg Centrifugal Machine by new NG-1750 Kg.
