Frequently Asked Questions
About Sri Sarvaraya Sugars
Sri Sarvaraya Sugars Limited is one of Andhra Pradesh's most established sugar companies, incorporated in 1956 and headquartered in Chennai with operations centered in Chelluru, East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. The company has grown its crushing capacity from an initial 800 TCD at inception to 5,000 TCD today, reflecting seven decades of operational expansion in the Krishna-Godavari delta's productive sugarcane belt. Sri Sarvaraya Sugars is a diversified agribusiness company with integrated operations spanning sugar manufacturing, molasses processing, and notably, the production of aerated drinks. The company reported revenue of Rs 996.55 crore in FY2024 — an impressive nearly Rs 1,000 crore scale — growing 19% from Rs 837.35 crore in FY2023. The strong FY2024 growth was primarily driven by a 20% increase in sales volume of aerated drinks, highlighting the beverages segment as a significant revenue contributor alongside core sugar operations. The company holds credit ratings from both CARE Ratings and ICRA, indicating strong institutional recognition of its creditworthiness. CARE Ratings reviewed the company's ratings in June 2024, while ICRA has also maintained coverage. Both agencies' involvement reflects the company's significant debt facilities and operating scale. Sri Sarvaraya's standalone net profit rose 20.11% in the March 2024 quarter, confirming strong bottom-line performance alongside top-line growth. The Krishna-Godavari delta is one of India's most fertile agricultural regions, providing rich sugarcane cultivation conditions for the company's Chelluru mill. With nearly Rs 1,000 crore in revenue, credit ratings from two major agencies, a diversified product portfolio including aerated beverages, and 68 years of operational history, Sri Sarvaraya Sugars represents one of south India's most comprehensive agribusiness companies.
