Zuari Industries’ SPE Division Records Highest-Ever Sugarcane Crushing in FY26
The SPE Division of Zuari Industries Limited (ZIL) has achieved its highest-ever sugarcane crushing of 159.7 lakh quintals in FY26, surpassing its previous record of 157.2 lakh quintals in FY25. The performance was driven by improved efficiency, higher capacity utilisation, and increased cane availability, and an early start to the crushing cycle.
Mr. Athar Shahab, Managing Director, Zuari Industries Limited, said:
“This milestone reflects consistent improvement in our operations and the discipline we are
building across the SPE Division. Our focus is on sustaining this performance and strengthening
execution.”
Mr. Alok Saxena, Executive Director & Unit Head, SPE Division, Zuari Industries, said:
“The performance this season is driven by stronger engagement with farmers and improvements in field practices. Our teams have supported growers with better crop management and varietal adoption to improve yields and supply. At the mill, tighter operational planning helped us maintain efficient capacity utilisation.”
The mill is expected to gain a head start for FY27, with plans to extend crushing operations into
April. This milestone sets a new benchmark for the unit and reinforces Zuari Industries continued focus on operational discipline.
