Thank you. From BCL Industries, we have their N.D., Mr. Rajendra Mittal, and their CEO, Mr. Varun Gupta. Also from Go India Advisors, their IR, we have Priya Sayan. I would now like to invite the management to initiate the opening proceedings, post which we shall open the floor for a Q&A session. Thank you, and over to you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Ravati. Good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome to Diesel Industries Ltd. 404 and FY26 earnings conference call. Thank you for joining us today. Let me begin with a brief overview on the industry environment. India's ethanol branding program has emerged as a strategic priority for the government, particularly amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions and conflicts in West Asia. The need for energy security has never been as crucial as in the present situation. Against this backdrop, several authorities have commenced key policy discussions surrounding the possibility of moving beyond E-20 mandate. Various government bodies, including AR-AI and NIPI-IO, are evaluating higher ethanol blends and flex fuel adoptions, which we believe will continue to support long-term demand for higher fuel and ethanol. The government is laying the groundwork for moving beyond E-20 mandate by evaluating higher fed-cold blend standards, such as E-30 under BIS norm. Along with proposed amendments to central motor vehicle rules to formally incorporate E85 and E100 ethanol blended rules, enabling flexible vehicle adoption. These initiatives are expected to significantly strengthen ethanol demand from OMC over medium to long term. That said, even with the lower and expected ethanol allocations, detail industry was able to maintain near-full capacity utilization by leveraging its integrated and flexible display operations across ENA, SES, and ethanol production. However, as more production was diverted towards ENA and SES, realization remained under pressure due to the highly competitive pricing environment in the market. Despite this environment, BCL Industries delivered a resilient operational performance during FY26, supported by strong execution, efficient operations, and continuous focus on the capacity expansion. A major milestone during the quarter is the completion of the additional 150KFD grain-based distillery unit at Bathenda. We have received all the clearances and approval, and the plant is under testing phase. By the end of this quarter, we hope to commence production at the rated capacity. With this, our total installed capacity would stand at 900 kLPE. This expansion strengthens our position against the leading grain-based display declares in India and enhances our ability to capitalize on future industry tailwinds. We are continuously investing on our cost-saving measures and enhancing our operational efficiencies. We are one of the few decilaries in India to have adopted the use of FedEx raw as a fuel source. To that extent, we have installed another 55-tons-per-hour fairy straw boiler that has enabled us to meet 100% of our steam and power requirements, further strengthening our operating costs. This year also marked a significant step for the company towards strengthening product offerings within the PML category. We launched Punjab Fashion Whiskey & Grass Bottle, giving it a premium look, enhancing the brand's overall appeal and positioning. Further, we also launched this Punjab Raspberry, a new addition to our product portfolio in this segment. We have sold almost 4.5 lakh cases in quarter-core FY26, which is up by 20% year-on-year. We are seeing healthy demand of the product, and we are optimistic about the performance of this segment going forward. Let me now touch upon the edible oil business. This financial year, we have exited from the packaged edible oil business. However, we continue to operate the soft oil referently and the trading business. Despite the exit from the package oil business, F526 revenue has remained largely in line with F525 levels. This is attributed to the fact that we have generated decent softness from the software as a family, and the trading business, and the sustained growth of display business. Going forward, BCL continues to evaluate further growth opportunities. We remain on track for proposed additional 250 KLPT display expansion at our Fatehabad plant in Haryana, which would be undertaken in line with the evolving industry landscape and policy implementation. It would take nearly two years to commission, and by that time, favorable policies would be implemented. Further, the acquisition of the remaining 25% stake in Swakshar Disparities is getting executed as per the planned timeline and is expected to be completed by the end of June 2026, following which Swakshar Disparities will become a wholly owned subsidiary of diesel industry permitted. Now, moving on to the financial results. For FY26, diesel industry reported total revenue of Rs. 2,913 crores, EBITDA stood at Rs. 251 crores, up by 18% year-on-year, with EBITDA margin improving by 130 basis points year-on-year to 8.6%. PAT for the quarter came in at Rs. 126 crores, up by 23% year-on-year, with a PAT margin of 4.3%. On the operational front, ENA and SDS volumes for FY26 increased sharply by nearly 74% year-on-year to 53,000 KL, primarily driven by higher diversion towards ENA production amidst lower ethanol allocation. Ethanol volumes stood at almost 1,90,000 KL in FY26, while our disparity with the margin improved to 11.03%, supported by better cost efficiency and operational flexibility. We defined the business-reported revenue of under 749 crores, with a bit of a margin of 3.74% in FY26. Overall, we believe BCR industries remain in well-positioned, supported by its strategic capacity expansion, and continued focus on efficiency and backward integration. Thank you.

Sir, are we open for question and answer?

Yes.

Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and 1 on their touch-tone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and 2. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Herschutz from Robo Capital. Please go ahead.

Hello, thank you for the opportunity. Am I audible?

Yes.

Yes, sir. I just want to understand, like, what is your revenue and EBITDA outlook for FY27 and FY28?

See, revenue for FY20, 7 and 28, you were asking. So, we are expecting to, you know, see growth in revenue with the coming new additional capacity of 150 k LPD. So, from that, you know, if we run that at 100% utilization, so we are expecting somewhere around 300 cores from that 150 k LPD.

Right, and a beta margin.

EBITDA margins will try to maintain the similar EBITDA margins because with this additional 150 TLPT unit, our overhead would remain the same and profitability would increase. So, yes, we are seeing these similar EBITDA margins going forward. Rather, there will be improvement in EBITDA margins.

Right, so the 150 capacity that we have put up, so what is the utilization expectation for, you know, like, would we be able to utilize 100% in the foister itself or how would it go?

No, you see that the 150 K LPD capacity will not be utilized fully to the extent that we have been operating about this 400 K LPD plant on stock for the last about 4-5 years. So, we did not have any time to, you can say, for yearly maintenance. So, with this commissioning of that, that will help us that there will be no drop in the production and we will be able to meet the market demand. Also, the additional demand is also coming from the audiences and other private players with the increase in the crude prices. Earlier, the ethanol branding was not so much profitable for the OMT. It was just a binding upon them. Now, they are using it with a pleasure because they are earning a substantial amount as compared to the increase in the crude prices. So, our expectation is that we will be able to at least utilize the 75% of the species starting from the second quarter.

Starting from the, sorry?

Second quarter. From the second quarter. Thank you. So, our testing period is going on, and another 15 days trial production will come back, and we should be able to commence the, to operate the plan, that will be rated especially by the first week of July.

Right, understood. And my second question is regarding EBITDA. Right, so in a distillery business, we did an EBITDA of 11.8% in quarters. So, is it something that we, you know, that we would be able to maintain this margin or, you know, how do we see the EBITDA going forward for a distillery business?

So, that this EBITDA margins will not go down as per their expectations, but you can say you cannot commit anything. It is an agro-based commodity market and commodity are subject to various risks like going up and down. But see that we have shielded our company to have this constant EBITDA margin, as mentioned in the opening space of putting up a rice straw boiler, where we are shielded from this high fuel cost, as of all the other industries are having. So, and with the increase in the capacity, our overheads will remain the same, and with the, you can say, consolidation of this vegetable oil business from one unit to this present unit where we have got power and steam in hand with the overheads coming down, the finance cost coming down, I think we will be able to maintain or rather improve the return margin of 11.8.

All I understood. Because one of the peers was saying that, you know, ethanol business, they will do 12 to 15% EBITDA. So, he was just, you know, getting some clarity on that. That's all.

You see that they might be right. If we have got the 100% allocation, then the beta-marges could be as high as 15% as the peers were indicating to you. But as we mentioned, that about 50% of the capacity, of the flexible capacity, is on account of E&A and the spatial, the nature, spirit, and the farm industry demand. Here, the prices are subject to the romethyl prices. So we don't get that kind of a fixed margin. And this ethanol business, you sometimes lose that the grain prices or the romethyl prices goes up. You cannot pass it down that the increase to the OLC. Whereas in ethanol, the NMA and the other spirit market, if the prices of the romethyl comes down, you have to pass on to the consumer, but if the prices goes up, then you have to recover it from the consumer. So, this is a stable and very few businesses having this kind of a dual-lessed thing. I think our business will be much more stable as compared to the Stanworth Acolopla.

All right, sir. Understood. Thank you. That's all from us. I'll join back this. Thank you.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Vikram Kotak from KCP Ltd. Please go ahead.

Yeah. Hi, sir. I'm Audible. Yeah, so, you know, except my ignorance, I'm attending this call for the first time, so pardon me if I ask some questions which are very basic. So, sir, I was seeing your site and a few of the businesses like distillery, biodiesel, edible oil, real estate. Now, you said edible oil, you kind of exited and you are looking at, I've seen a very small turn over there, but, you know, you are in aligned businesses as far as distillery or IML, country liquor, biodiesel. Why real estate? Is it, you know, synergetic to your overall requirement or is it just because you have spare land and now you're building up there? Just help me out with that.

No, you see that if you go towards the financial reserve, the real-stage business is as old as 15 years back. We are not having any fresh projects. Only the projects which were taken up from 2005 to 2010 have been completed, and whatever has been stocked, that's in the shape of property is coming, in the shape of cash to the company. So we do not have any exposure further for the last 15 years in the real-stage. So, so, so, the new real estate, the traditional, the bio-visual, and the PNA, the Punjab medium-likam, and the account.

Right. So, no further, you said, no, no, not much edible oil. So, you will focus on the...

No, no, no. Edible oils will be there. Edible oils will be there because we have got a solvent extraction class. Vehicle oils will be there, but not in a spagged farm. We are only catering to the bulk demand in the shape of a bulk supply. So, that revenue will always be there about 700 to 800 quarts per annum, well, polyfrogly. Okay.

And the second question, where do you see the company in the next five years in terms of strategic direction? I'm not asking for revenue numbers or something, but how do you see yourself from a year to five years later? What will be your area of focus? What will be your biggest business in the overall category? How do you see the business scenario and your internal capacity in terms of team and the leadership?

So, you see that at present, we are focusing on biofuel. First of all, we will be having in the current, you can say, in about two years, we will be putting up another, you can say, small plant to get into the biofuel at Satyamath, which the work has already started, and we hope to commission that plant within one and a half year or two years. So that will take the overall capacity of the company from 900k to 1150k. That is a substantially good quantity. And further, we will be, you can say, focusing on a CBG from, you can say, that also this from biomass. The plant has a long-term vision of putting up a CBG plant also, and later on, you see that this sector is going to cater to the sustainable addition fuel market also. So, we see that in the coming four-five years, you will see a lot of change in this biofilm market, and with this present energy crisis and the environmental angle, you see that we have to feed the 140 crores people, so we have to give them a job. So, the main focus of the government or the entire nation is on account of having a cleaner environment, secondly, to reduce the import dependence, thirdly, to increase the farmer's income, and so on. So, by 2030, you must have been reading in the newspaper, since by 2030, the Europe has come up with a mandate that all these, we can say, aviation sector will be using about 30% of the sustainable air-conditioned fuel generated from this foreign energy, not only fossil fuels part of it. So, we see a green future in our company as this biofuel and other things are coming in, and we have positioned ourselves, within five years, we should be a total debt-free company, which we are focusing also, which we have been, you must have noticed from our financial results, the financial cost is coming down year to year. And in the realization of our this relative vegetable inventory, which is like various dealers and other farms, out of which the substantial amount as the organism relies, we hope to rely with four to five months or six months, the entire inventory part of it. So that will add to the cash, consolidate the cash portion of it. So, 25 years we see a great future, and further after this we will be entering to the CBG section and the sustainability system type section, and plus the there are technologies coming up blending this after all in the diesel also.

Yeah. Yeah. So last question from my side is, you know, you also are the supplier to many large, you know, liquor companies, and also you are on side, you're also building your own brand portfolio on the liquor brand, as well as IMF, Amil. So where do you see what kind of size you want to build in, you know, liquor brand and, sorry, in the country liquor and also in Amil? What kind of size you're looking next five years? And why this is around Punjab only? Why not it is India? So I just want to just, that's another curious question.

So, this PNL is Punjab medium liquor. We are only authorized to sell it in Punjab only. The next segment we propose to enter in the coming year is IMFL, Indian made foreign liquor. So, we are only taking very steps and soon we will be coming up with various brands with IMFL, catering to the North India and then to the PAN. So, we do have that. First, we wanted to consolidate our position, have a good amount of cash with the company, because this IMF business, first, it will take away about 100 parts in the pocket for the launching of this IMF brand on the family agency. So, first you wanted to have the expansion, all the expansion completed, have a handful, you can say, margins with the company, cash with the company, you don't want to borrow money and launch this IMFL business plan in India, because that will be a very high cost for the company or very high risk for that. So, in the coming years, you do have a plan to have this IMFL business, once in first North India, then PEN.

Sure.

So, sir, what is the current net debt level on the balance sheet?

Is it on March 26th?

It's about 300 crores, 335 crores, including fund based and non-fund based. Thank you. Thank you so much, sir. About 120 crores is on interest of the organization. We just pay about 4.25% of the rate of interest.

Okay.

So what is the average cost of interest for us? 6-7% roughly? It's less than 30%.

Okay, less than 30%. Okay, sir. All the best and have a great future. Thank you for answering all the questions in detail. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from all the participants in the conference, kindly limit your questions to two per participant. Should you have a follow-up question, please rejoin the queue. We will take our next question from the line of Praneeth from SGA Investment. Please go ahead.

Hi, management. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. So one thing I wanted to understand in terms of our oil business, you mentioned that we're only going to do bulk sales. Is there any specific reason behind it? I understand you want to focus on the other things, but is it in terms of margins? Is it better? Could you just explain what's the strategy behind that?

You said that edible oil business of the company is as old as we are in the business for the last 45 years. So, we have attained some expertise in that the The unit which was situated within the city was to be shut down because of the various government, you can say, restrictions as we are having a red category unit in the density of the thickly populated area. So, we have to shift that production capacity at, you can say, our present district site, we are having, which, where we are having a, you can say, cheap power, the same infrastructure, and the cost of production has come down. To compete with the, you can say, package industry as of now will be difficult for us as they are situated quite far away from the port. So, bringing the raw material from the port side and again standing in pan India, throughout India, the logistics does not work of that count. So, we just want to remain our present and just like to, just for your information, the focus of the, you can say, policy makers of the government is on the reducing the import dependence on the vegetable oil. At present, the vegetable oil is the third largest form exchange gravy in the country. The first is the crude oil, the second is the gold, and third is the vegetable oil. So with the, you can say, government taking steps for the crop diversity, especially in the state of Punjab and Haryana and Rastan, for increasingly farmers, for guru oil tea. So we want to be present there. And when the time comes, because earlier, what we were doing is we were buying oil seed and selling the final product in the market. So, we had margins at every stage. Now, we simply bringing crude oil and just refining it does not give us so much margin so that we are able to compete with the oil-based refinery or inventory. So, we want to position ourselves. When the opportunity comes, we can again, you can say, scale up our business to that extent.

Understood sir. And if it was shifting of the plant expenses and what did we end up doing with the land because did we just relocate the existing plant or did we have to invest more into it?

So, the right question. The about say 25 to 30 percent of the machines which were working workable condition and which were not technology backwards, they have already shifted to over this and those are the mission that started the production. The rest of the machines have been sold in the market and we are getting the, you can say, aromatics of the plant and machinery by selling it and the land parts and we have put it for sale. So, we hope to provide a better value for the product and that will be putting back into the cash and which will further consolidate the cash portion of the company in, you can say, putting up the further expansion in the plant. We are looking for a land deep in the near future.

What is the tentative science of this land deep, sir?

It's about 18 acres of land in the city.

So, what could be the value in the periodicity?

Ah, value as well, very difficult to say, but we should be able to realize the close to about 30 crores of speed from that process.

Understood, sir. And coming to our liquor business, I understand that you have made a lot of business in there with less allocations from the OMCs. I was just wondering in terms of branding, what is our strategy and how are we going about it to go to market? Like in terms of investments in advertising or let's say hiring a team for it, could you just explain strategy beyond developing our proprietary liquor brand?

Yes, you see that we have, basically, we are situated at a remote site in the state of Punjab, Bathinda, where the connectivity and the other issues are there. For that, we have already, you can say, materialized our corporate office at Chandigarh, which has started functioning and slowly will be shifting our, you can say, the activities there. From where we plan to have the expertise and the brand launching. So, we could see, it is not a very short-term vision. It has to be very long-term with a sustainable cash flow we give. So, we are putting all of our efforts to cater to that IMFL segment from our corporate office. So, already we are on this job. So, we have had experts and other people for this entering into MFLV and regarding the EMSL, this is not only the EMSL, this is the, you can say that we are catering to the pharma sector, we are selling industrial alcohol, we are selling special denature spirit to cater to the various industries. So, this is the benefit of the flexible, you can say, having a dual licensing. Otherwise, with a 400 KLPD plan, if the allocation was about 420 KL per day, our 180 KLPD would have been laying idle, and the company would have been from us. So this is the most benefit our company has and the entry value to EMA business is very tough and takes a very long time, takes a long time, public hearing does not get through. So that kind of the thing, we hope to have this better business of EMA because MFL market in India is growing at about 12 to 13 percent per annum.

Got it, sir. But could you give some perspective on... I'm sorry to interrupt, Daneet.

You will please rejoin the people for the questions. Yeah, I'll get that on cue.

I'll get that on cue. Thank you.

A reminder to all the participants, kindly restrict yourselves to two questions. We will take our next question from the line of Sachi Amittal from Concept and Web 12. Please go ahead. Am I audible?

My first question is, in FY26, operating cash flows improve sharply, family, age, and family.

Please speak loudly and clearly. We are not fully audibly.

Am I audible now?

Yes, better.

In FY26, in financial year 2026, operating cash flows improve sharply, Primarily aided by working after a release. Is the improvement sustainable or timely a one-off benefit arising from the liquidation of edible oil and mercury?

So you see that from this year that we have known that the profits of the country has gone up by 18-20% and there is no capex at present. Earlier, every year there was a capex. The cash flow, the working capital requirement was gone because of this factor. And secondly, with the EMA business and this special denature spread business, we don't cash and carry basic. Whereas we had a huge outstanding if we operate the plant 100% on ethanol. So there is an outstanding of 21 days from the OMC side. So that cycle has also come down and it's a totally not temporary business. The company has sufficient cash flows. There has, you can say those, some, you can say liquidation of Adiwala Elementary is helping us, but we are having a constant cash flow, wherein the entire inventory of this working capital, you can see utilization of the working capital has come down.

Thank you sir. My second question is, can you help me understand the sensitivity of EBITDA margins to fluctuations in key raw material prices such as NIAs and Bikes?

EBITDA margins will say that the EMA business should have a constant EBITDA margins because they increase or decrease. Of the raw material cost is being passed to the buyer. Only the fixed prices of ethanol. So, 60% business is on account of the variable cost penny is being passed to the consumer. So, we hope to maintain same kind of EBITDA market. Rather, we will have some improvement with the net, especially as mentioned earlier, of 100 PFT in KLPD, with that amount, we can say, the overhead cost or the finance cost and income.

All right, so thank you. Thank you. Next question is from the line of Hemanju Bisani from Pinpoint X Capital. Please go ahead.

Hi, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. Sir, my line of questions are more on the green energy side and the new ventures. Sir, on the biodiesel viability, with all the geopolitical scenarios and the rise in diesel prices, are we seeing some price recent policy, you know, price evasion that is going on? And if that is happening, how are we looking to participate in that with our 75 KLPD capacity?

You see that the biodiesel capacity of our company is 75 KBD per day, but at present, we are not able to manufacture because of the, there has not been any price revision or the price, pricing policy or the mandate. Actually, you see that unless the biodiesel was being purchased by ANSI at 108 rupees of liter, but in the absence of mandate, so they reduced the prices according to the crude, you can say the crude viability, crude derived from the crude. So there was no green energy in the biodiesel section. So, we planned our plant in such a way, either we could use it as a vegetable oil refinery or we can use it as a biodiesel plant. So, at present, we are operating that of a plant on a vegetable oil refinery. So, whenever there is a, you can say, a vision or the culture vision of the biodiesel rates, we will be able to participate and we are already enrolled as a, you can say, biodiesel supplier with all the oil things.

So just on that, so are we seeing some on-ground reflections with the rising price of diesel and everything?

You see that this is a government policy rather to buy the biodiesel and these rates all just keep away and concentrate more on petrol. They may not be thinking that the fire is lying with the PMO office. So can't say, can't comment upon anything as to what would, what would, what is in their mind and how they will react. But certainly, these are the positive indications that the crude prices have gone up substantially high and the cost of biodiesel should be revised by the OLCs, but they are taking their own time to comment. So, we did our flexible while putting our plant so that our plant, our capacity does not remain idle. So, we are using our capacity for the in the refined vegetable oil section. So, that is also giving almost the same margin as we would be getting for the bio-delivery time.

Understood. And sir, on the bio-CNG front, we were evaluating a 20 MTB plant, right? How are things right now? What is the process and how are you looking at things right now?

You see that I have mentioned that our 100k LPD plant has been commissioned at Matinda and is under testing. So, we did not have the intention to engage another team to put up the plant of Satyabad where 250k LPD this ethanol plant and 20k BG plant has been planted. So, that site is already now activated. We are moving forward, and we should be able to commence the, you can say, close the books by the next month, and we should be able to start the construction, and within two years, we will be able to commission over 200 K LPD plant of ethanol, and after the commission over that plant, another one year will be taking for putting up a 220 K LPD. Thank you very much.

Okay, so it is almost like from three years from now, can we say that?

Yes, because we want to base our CBC raw material as rice pop, the biomass, where there is a little technological problem at present, but that is being solved and number of pilot crafts have been commissioned by the various suppliers. So, we are, you can say, constantly watching that the developments as well as the technology part of it, and the commission of OJC, which we have already procured number, brought the land and that is the part of the extension program within two, three years.

I'm sorry to interrupt. Please rejoin the queue for follow-up questions. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, due to time constraints, we will take our last question from the line of Gashil from Vinas System, Private Limited. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, sir. My question is regarding the land. As the promoters have such a good experience in real estate development, why should the company not develop this real estate instead of selling it out?

It's a very good question. You see that at present, the asset management, as a promoter, we are focusing ourselves on the green energy and other parts of it. So, we require funds for that and developing a real-scale project and selling it takes a long time. It's not a metro city. The free-time city where the migration is not to that extent that we could develop that into a real-scale project of housing or commercial project. So, realization and the decision is quite high, so let the local people have the profit from other things and we have our, we concentrate towards the poor business. So, it's not the poor business of the company to enter into a real estate as of now. It's a very, very long process to get the sanctions and get the development and again sell to the various prospective buyers. So, we don't want to waste our time, we just want to get the cash and put the same into the business, reduce our finance cost, and achieve our expansion plan.

I appreciate that, but I think to have such a big land parcel in the heart of the city, and to sell it for I think you said 30 crores, doesn't really make any sense.

No, it's, here the rates are just only, it's only about less than 2,000 rupees per acre, which is, the cost of survival of this land is 3,000 rupees per acre, and we are, we are able to get 200% after that. So, in the rates, they equal, you don't compare this to the valley or something like that. No, it's a 3,000 rupees per acre. It's a very perfect price to get this kind of.

I don't know. I would say, in such a case, we should be given the first act of refusal.

Definitely contact you. When we have the final message, definitely keep in mind, you know, and definitely contact.

Please do that. Thank you.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our question and answer session. On behalf of Ingrid Equities, that concludes this conference. Thank you all for joining us today and you may now disconnect your line.
