Where growth can come from, and what can break the case
FY26 Total Income grew 28% YoY to Rs 1,142.9 Cr, driven by 41.7% YoY distillery revenue growth. PAT increased 33.4% YoY to Rs 139.6 Cr, with company EBITDA margin at 23.4% (flat YoY).
The company is executing its premiumization strategy well, evidenced by strong IMFL volume and revenue growth. Completed capacity expansions are expected to drive future distillery revenue. The sugar business remains a drag, but a demerger scheme has been filed. Execution on new capacity utilization and IMFL market penetration is key.

Trust score
Does management behaviour match later outcomes? Claim delivery, forensic breakdown, evidence depth
Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Healthy Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 78th percentile of the scored universe and 34th percentile within FMCG. Main check: financial discipline is weak at 58/100.
High Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 68.6%. Key concern: ROCE trend is -5.7%.
Generally investable credibility. Look for weak sub-scores before increasing position size.

How to read this Trust Score
Healthy Trust · low confidenceRead Trust alongside U-Score, result consistency, and technical trend. A cheap stock with weak Trust needs a larger margin of safety; a high Trust score does not make an expensive stock attractive by itself.
Forensic breakdown
Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.
Trust positives
- ▸Promoter holding is 68.6%.
- ▸Promoter pledge is zero.
- ▸7 years of positive FCF.
- ▸4/4 latest quarters had positive YoY revenue growth.
