The full read
Ravalgaon Sugar Farm is currently an inactive company following the sale of its core sugar and confectionery units. Despite the lack of operations, it burned ₹4.91 crore in FY26, more than double the ₹2.02 crore loss recorded the previous year. The deterioration accelerated in the final quarter, with a loss of ₹3.56 crore compared to just ₹19.52 lakh in Q3, pushed by property tax provisions and other expenses. Legal trouble adds a layer of uncertainty. The Supreme Court recently overruled a High Court decision that previously protected the company from electricity duty payments. While no specific demand has reached the balance sheet yet, the company is fighting back with a review petition. For a firm valued at roughly ₹33 crore, rising losses and lingering legal liabilities create a bleak outlook for the capital that remains.
