RevenueQ1 FY27 call
20–40%- Balrampur Chini Mills expects positive growth mid to long-term, particularly in the PLA (polylactic acid) business, with quality production starting from January and aiming for around 40% capacity utilization in the first year.
- The PLA project is viewed as a significant new growth lever and has potential to create a parallel scale similar to their current core business over time.
- The sugar segment is expected to benefit from firm domestic sugar prices due to tight supply and healthy demand, supporting revenue growth despite higher cane costs.
- Ethanol volumes might see adjustments depending on government policies, but the company is prepared to optimize volumes within permitted regulations.

Momentum score · price trend
37 out of 100 — Cooling
Over the past year its share price has done worse than most of the stocks we track.
| Period | Share price change | Better than … of 1,910 stocks |
|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months | +25.5% | 77% |
| Last 6 months | +13.1% | 71% |
| Last 3 months | +0.6% | 68% |
The price is 23.2% below its all-time high of ₹767.1 (20 Aug 2026). Stocks more than 20% below their peak have their score halved, so 73 became 37.
How we calculate it
“Better than 30%” means that over that period the share price did better than 30 out of every 100 stocks we track (1,910 Indian companies worth ₹500 Cr or more, with at least a year of prices).
The score weighs the longer periods more: 40% × 12-month + 40% × 6-month + 20% × 3-month. For Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd: 0.4 × 77 + 0.4 × 71 + 0.2 × 68 = 73, halved to 37 because the price is more than 20% below its all-time high.
Strengthening is 70 and above, Steady 40 to 70, Cooling below 40. Scores are recalculated every night after the market closes.
