Sanstar (SANSTAR) delivered improved Q1 FY27 performance.

Revenue hit Rs. 206.2 Cr (+21.5% YoY), with PAT at Rs. 9.2 Cr.

Exports surged 24.5% YoY to Rs. 72.3 Cr, driven by higher plant availability.

A major capacity expansion at Dhule was commissioned, adding 1,250 TPD of native starch, boosting total capacity to 2,350 TPD.

A derivatives facility is next, expected FY27. Strategically, Sanstar raised Rs. 198.3 Cr from Ingredion's subsidiary for a ~9% stake, gaining access to global R&D. This strengthens its push into value-added products.

Cost-saving efforts include a new 3 MW solar plant at Kutch, expected to save Rs. 3 Cr annually.

Management is focused on maximizing new capacity, launching derivatives, increasing value-added product mix, and expanding market reach for future growth. #Sanstar #Q1FY27
