PERFORMANCE
The Maizapur unit of the Company commenced crushing operations for the
season 2008-2009 w.e.f 5th December, 2008. The quantitative
performance results of season 2008-09 and 2007-08 were as under:
S.No. Season 2008-09 2007-08
1. Crushing Capacity (TCP) 3000 3000
2. Start of Crushing Season 05.12.2008 6.12.2007
3. Closed of Crushing season 11.02.2009 31.03.2008
4. Sugar Cane Crush (Lacs Qutls) 13.09 29.71
5. Recovery 8.42% 9.63%
6. Sugar Production (Lacs Qutls) 1.10 2.87
Crushing of sugarcane and production of Sugar during the season 2008-09
was substantially lower at 13.09 lacs quintal and 1.10 lac quintal as
against 29.71 lacs quintal and 2.87 lac quintal respectively in the
preceding year. Recovery was also lower at 8.42% as against 9.63% in
the previous season. The main reason for lower crushing was owing to
lower availability of sugarcane due to conscious switch over by the
farmers to other crops like wheat and paddy etc. on account of better
realisation. None of the explosive units of the Company is in operation
during the year.
CANE AND SUGAR POLICY
The UP Government has issued a Notification dated 23rd October, 2009 by
which the State Advised Cane Price (SAP) has been fixed for all the
sugar factories for the season 2009-10 in UP, which is Rs 162.50 per
quintal for rejected varieties, Rs 165.00 for Normal varieties and Rs
170.00 for early maturing varieties. The Central Government has
increased the levy sugar component from 10% in season 2008-09 to 20%
for season 2009-10 to meet the requirement under public distribution
system at Subsidized rates. Further, imported raw-sugar and white sugar
do not have levy sugar obligation.
LEGAL CASES RELATED TO CANE ARREARS
1. The State Govt, vide order dated 26.12.2006 fixed State Advised
Price for the season 2006-07 at Rs.122.50, Rs. 125.00,and Rs. 130/- per
quintal for rejected, normal and early varieties respectively. The
Allahabad High Court vide order dated 19.12.2007 quashed the State
Advised Price. SLPs were filed against this order by the State and cane
growers before the Honble Supreme Court.
2. The Honble Supreme Court vide order dated 27.2.2008 fixed interim
price of sugarcane as Rs. 115/-, Rs. 118/- and Rs. 123/- per quintal

Allahabad Bench and Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court. The Lucknow
Bench vide order dated 7.7.2007 upheld the State Advised Price for the
season 2007-08 and the Allahabad Bench quashed the SAP. Both these
orders were challenged in the Honble Supreme Court by various SLPs.
4. The Honble Supreme Court vide order dated 8.9.2008 fixed an
interim price of sugarcane as Rs. 110/- per quintal for the season
2007-08. The SLPs are pending in the Honble Supreme Court. The
