BCL Industries Q3 FY26 Concall Transcript Released; Svaksha Acquisition Ongoing
BCL Industries released its Q3 FY26 concall transcript. The company is acquiring the remaining 25% in Svaksha Distillery for ₹55 crore by June 2026. Capacity expansion to 900 KLPD is targeted by FY26. Q3 FY26 revenue was ₹758 crore, with PAT at ₹35 crore, up 69% YoY.
The announcement details ongoing acquisitions, capacity expansions, and financial performance, which are material to investors. However, the lack of specific future guidance on certain aspects and ongoing industry challenges temper the impact to medium.
The company reported positive financial growth and strategic expansion plans, but also highlighted challenges such as lower ethanol allocations, competitive ENA market, and potential policy risks, leading to a neutral sentiment.
BCL Industries Limited has released the transcript of its Analyst and Investors Conference Call held on February 13, 2026, to discuss the unaudited financial results for the Quarter and Nine Months ended December 31, 2025. The call featured insights from Joint Managing Director Mr. Kushal Mittal and CEO Mr. Varun Gupta.
The company highlighted the evolving ethanol blending program in India, with E20 target achieved and discussions underway for flex fuel engines and other ethanol usages. BCL Industries operates a flexible distillery capable of processing multiple feedstocks, including maize and FCI rice, to mitigate industry volatility. Maize prices have softened, allowing for competitive ENA market participation.
Strategically, BCL Industries announced the acquisition of the remaining 25% stake in Svaksha Distillery Limited, expected to be completed by June 30, 2026, for approximately ₹55 crores, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. This move aims to consolidate control and unlock synergies. The company is also progressing with a 150 KLPD capacity expansion in Bathinda, with total capacity set to reach 900 KLPD by the end of FY '26. Svaksha Distillery's capacity is also being enhanced from 300 KLPD to 350 KLPD.
ENA volumes saw a significant year-on-year increase of 60% to 15,330 KL in Q3 FY '26, driven by strong offtake. In the IMIL segment, total sales were 488,000 boxes in Q3 FY '24, with the launch of Punjab Special whiskey in glass bottles aimed at elevating brand positioning.
On the sustainability front, BCL Industries is on track to meet 100% of its steam and power requirements through paddy straw-based boilers. The company has fully exited its packaged edible oil business operations, with stock liquidation expected by the end of the financial year, and will now report its oil trading business separately for enhanced transparency. The maize oil extraction unit at Svaksha Distillery is slated for commissioning by Q4 FY '26.
Financially, for Q3 FY '26, BCL Industries reported total revenue of ₹758 crores, a 41% year-on-year increase in EBITDA to ₹68 crores, and a 69% year-on-year rise in PAT to ₹35 crores. The distillery segment EBITDA stood at ₹60 crores, up 42% year-on-year.
During the Q&A, management discussed the competitive ENA market and its lower margins compared to ethanol, the revenue potential from maize oil extraction, and strategies to maximize capacity utilization amidst lower ethanol allocations. They also addressed the potential risk of government reducing maize-based ethanol prices and the ongoing efforts to explore export markets for ENA. The company is also strategically evaluating expansion into the IMFL segment, with the launch of Punjab Special whiskey being a stepping stone. The sale of a land parcel for approximately ₹45 crores is planned to fund the Svaksha Distillery acquisition. The company also noted that biodiesel sector is struggling due to unviable prices from OMCs.
