Sona Machinery Limited — PPTs, 30-05-2026: Investor Presentation

Sona Machinery's FY26 revenue saw a 10.96% YoY decline to Rs. 84.51 Cr, resulting in a net loss of Rs. 3.46 Cr compared to a Rs. 3.85 Cr profit last year. This dip was mainly due to a challenging industrial environment, excess capacity in the ethanol sector, and deferred rice orders worth ~Rs. 20 Cr, partly impacted by the Middle East conflict. The company also strategically took on lower-margin ethanol projects, incurring initial cost overruns to establish its market presence.

To drive growth, Sona Machinery is expanding its rice mill product range from 10 TPH to 16 TPH and diversifying into multi-grain processing like coffee, barley, and spices. They've introduced electrical automation solutions and parboiling/drying machines, supported by a new 90,000+ sq. ft. manufacturing unit for increased capacity and efficiency. Recent customer additions include Radico Khaitan, Rana Sugar, KRBL, and GRN Overseas.

Management is optimistic, targeting an FY27 turnover of Rs. 110-120 Cr with early double-digit EBITDA margins. The focus remains on stabilizing operations, regaining momentum, and leveraging government support for ethanol blending.
