TruAlt Bioenergy Limited reported strong Q1 FY27 financial results, with consolidated operational revenue rising to ₹6.27 billion and net profit reaching ₹571.5 million. Growth was supported by expanding ethanol dual-feed capacity to 1,300 KLPD, alongside ongoing strategic project execution in Compressed BioGas and Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
BENGALURU, INDIA — TruAlt Bioenergy Limited announced its un-audited consolidated financial results for the first quarter ending June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27) on July 28, 2026, delivering substantial growth across key operational and financial metrics.
The Bengaluru-headquartered biofuel producer reported a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹6.27 billion (₹627 crore), representing a 106.25% year-on-year increase compared to ₹3.04 billion in Q1 FY26. Consolidated net profit for the quarter surged to ₹571.5 million (₹57.15 crore or ₹57.2 crore), up significantly from ₹47.3 million recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Strong Operational Execution Across Ethanol and Green Gas Segments
The company's performance during the quarter was driven by the integration of grain-based operations across its ethanol facilities. TruAlt expanded its total ethanol manufacturing capacity by 43%, increasing installed capacity from 1,400 KLPD in Q1 FY26 to 2,000 KLPD in Q1 FY27.
Within this footprint, approximately 1,300 KLPD (65% of total capacity) has been transitioned to dual-feed technology, allowing the usage of both sugar derivatives and damaged grains unfit for human consumption. This structural shift enabled near year-round production capabilities, mitigating seasonal sugarcane availability constraints.
Segment-Wise Financial Performance
Ethanol Vertical: Total revenue reached ₹6.26 billion in Q1 FY27 compared to ₹3.15 billion in Q1 FY26. EBITDA for the segment expanded to ₹1.27 billion, generating an EBITDA margin of 20.70% compared to 11.06% in the prior-year period. Profit before tax for the segment stood at ₹732.6 million.
Compressed BioGas (CBG) Vertical: The segment generated a total income of ₹113.1 million, while EBITDA stood at ₹62.4 million. Operating expenditure increases in the CBG segment were primarily driven by planned, non-recurring maintenance activities designed to enhance asset reliability.
Retail Fuel Network: Operations across 7 operational retail outlets yielded a total income of ₹44.0 million and a net profit of ₹0.5 million during the quarter. Four additional outlets are currently under construction under Phase 1 of the company's retail expansion plan.

In an official statement accompanying the results disclosure, Vijay Nirani, Managing Director of TruAlt Bioenergy Limited, stated:
"For TruAlt Bioenergy, Q1 FY27 marks a defining milestone as we report our first year-on-year first quarter performance as a listed company. The successful integration of approximately 1,300 KLPD of dual-feed infrastructure within our total installed capacity of 2,000 KLPD has fundamentally reshaped our business from a seasonal sugarcane-based producer into a near year-round multi-feedstock ethanol producer. Going forward, our focus will be on maximising the potential of this platform by enhancing operational efficiency, optimising asset utilisation, and pursuing high-value downstream opportunities."
Why It Matters
India's push toward energy independence and foreign exchange preservation through the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) program has accelerated demand for indigenous biofuel production. TruAlt Bioenergy's shift toward multi-feedstock operations protects supply stability against crop seasonality while positioning the company to participate in next-generation fuel verticals, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Compressed BioGas (CBG).
The company is currently developing a proposed 100 million litres per annum Ethanol-to-Jet SAF facility in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, supported by a ₹1.5 billion (₹150 crore) grant sanctioned under the PM JI-VAN Yojana.
