BCL Industries conducted its Q4 and FY26 Earnings Conference Call on May 27, 2026. The company discussed the strategic importance of India's ethanol blending program, driven by energy security concerns and potential policy shifts towards higher blends like E30 and E85.
Despite lower ethanol allocation, BCL Industries maintained near full capacity utilization by leveraging integrated distillery operations. A significant milestone was the completion of an additional 150 KLPD grain-based distillery unit at Bathinda, bringing the total installed capacity to 900 KLPD. The company also highlighted its investment in a 55 tonnes per hour paddy straw boiler to meet 100% of its steam and power requirements, enhancing operating margins.
In the PML (Punjab Made Liquor) category, BCL Industries launched Punjab Special Whiskey and Punjab Raspberry, selling 4.5 lakh cases in Q4 FY26, a 20% year-on-year increase. The company has exited the packaged edible oil business but continues with its soft oil refinery and trading operations. Future growth plans include a proposed 250 KLPD distillery expansion at Fatehabad and the acquisition of the remaining 25% stake in Svaksha Distillery by June 2026, making it a wholly owned subsidiary.
Financially, for FY26, BCL Industries reported total revenue of ₹2,913 crore, with EBITDA at ₹251 crore (up 18% YoY) and PAT at ₹126 crore (up 23% YoY). ENA and SBF volumes for FY26 increased by 74% YoY to 53,000 KL, and ethanol volume stood at 190,000 KL, with distillery EBITDA margin improving to 11.03%. The refinery business reported revenue of ₹749 crore with a 3.74% EBITDA margin.
The company anticipates revenue growth from the new 150 KLPD unit, expecting around ₹300 crore annually from it. The 150 KLPD capacity is projected to reach 75% utilization starting from the second quarter of FY27, with full capacity utilization expected by the first week of July 2026. Distillery EBITDA margins are expected to be maintained or improved, benefiting from cost efficiencies and increased capacity. The company aims to be debt-free within five years, focusing on biofuel expansion, including a future CBG plant and sustainable aviation fuel ventures. The company also plans to enter the IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) market, initially targeting North India and then Pan-India, requiring an investment of approximately ₹100 crore.
