The agency has also affirmed the company's short-term rating at 'CARE A2'.
Care Ratings stated that the reaffirmation of ratings assigned to bank facilities of Godavari Biorefineries (GBL) reflects the company's adequate operating performance in FY25 and 9M FY26, despite industry-wide headwinds of reduced profitability owing to higher sugarcane prices, restrictions on sugar exports and limited availability of molasses following the restriction on diversion of sugar syrup for ethanol production.
CARE Ratings expects the company's performance to sustain over the medium term, driven by its sizeable crushing and distillery capacities and long track record of operations.
Ratings continue to derive comfort from GBL's integrated sugar unit, proximity to high-yielding sugarcane cultivating regions and diversified product portfolio comprising sugar, distillery, co-generation and bio-based chemicals, which mitigates concentration risk.
GBL's business risk profile also benefits from the company's strong and resourceful promoters, Somaiya Group, with a long track record in agri-based businesses and education sector.
However, ratings continue to remain constrained by the company's moderate capital structure and debt coverage indicators, despite some improvement in FY25 led by sizeable increase in net worth base and prepayment of term loans following the fresh equity infusion through the initial public offering (IPO) in Q3FY25, owing to continued debt-funded capital expenditure for setting up the fungible grain-based distillery and working capital intensive operations.
Ratings also factor in GBL's presence in a highly regulated industry and its exposure to agri-climatic risks and cyclical nature of sugar industry.
Godavari Biorefineries has two units, one is an integrated plant producing sugar, power and industrial alcohol, and second unit produces bio-based specialty chemicals. The company's chemicals division exports ethyl acetate to the Middle East, Africa, and European countries. The company has an in-house retail brand 'Jivana' for the sale of sugar, turmeric, and salt in Rajasthan Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat.
The company's consolidated net profit increased by 43.23% to Rs 8.25 crore on a 2.81% rise in revenue to Rs 459.85 crore in Q3 FY26 as compared with Q3 FY25.
The scrip jumped 5.22% to end at Rs 324.35 on the BSE.

ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
