ANNUAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

During the year under review, the Total Income of the Company was H 163971.88 Lakhs as against H 200118.08 Lakhs in the previous year,
showing a drop 18.06% over the previous year which is being explained in the subsequent paras. Your Company has earned a Net Profit after
tax of H 7208.82 Lakhs as against H 8504.54. Lakhs in the previous year showing a decrease of around 15.23 % in PAT. Earnings Per Share of
the Company for the current year 2022-23 has been H 29.85 per share as against H 35.22 per share (Basic) in the previous year showing a
drop of around 15.24 %.

Coming to the operational highlights, the distillery unit at Bhatinda continues to operate at 100% capacity utilization with good demand for
both ENA and Ethanol and the company has started commercial production from its 200 KLPD expansion at Bathinda unit in the month of
June 2023. This should have a positive impact on the Company's financials moving forward.

To combat inflation and fuel prices, the company has commissioned its paddy straw-based 10-megawatt power plant in Bhatinda in the second
half of May 2023. The Company expects this power plant to bring down the fuel cost for the Distillery segment significantly moving forward.

For ENA market, March and April months are considered to be lean months as the new excise policy is renewed during this period. This has
led to a lower demand for ENA in West Bengal and the Company expects its sales from West Bengal plant under its subsidiary, Svaksha
Distillery unit, to be good moving forward. The expansion plans for the additional 100 KLPD at Svaksha Distillery Limited has already begun
and the Company expects to commission this plant by December 2023, with an estimated cost of around INR 94 crores.

There has been a significant increase in EBITDA margin for the Financial Year 2022-23 in the Distillery segment and this has happened due to
very good demand for ENA and the company’s strong inventory management during the period of fuel price inflation.

Additionally, the Company has also started using maize to produce Ethanol which is another very good raw material for the industry. We as
a Company are expecting that the maize prices of ethanol will be significantly increased by the government to promote ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’
and the government is in full support to the agriculture sector and is ensuring that a farmer is not selling his crop below MSP. Last year, the
mustard and maize crop gave good returns to the farmer which ultimately benefits the agriculture sector and that will only help India in crop
diversification, which is a very urgent need as of now. So as per Board’s reading of the market and the policy, we expect that the government
will increase the maize price of ethanol which in turn will make it lucrative for the distilleries to procure maize from market, which is currently
surplus, and convert it into ethanol and sell to the OMCs.

In the Edible Oil segment, there was a dip in revenue for the financial year, which was due to the drop in global edible oil prices globally. Despite
this dip in revenues, the Company was able to get good EBITDA margin from this sector due to strong inventory management. Global edible
oil prices have decreased at about 30% to 40% when compared to the previous year, while the Company's revenue from edible oils had only
decreased by 26.5%.

This indicates that the Company has not decreased its volume being processed from this sector. The edible oil prices continue to be in
decline and the Board is watching the trend carefully. The Company is engaged in both types, indigenous and imported edible oil businesses
and the indigenous oil business like cotton seed, mustard and rice bran oil is Company’s specialty. While global edible oil prices start to fall,
indigenous oils don’t give much losses in terms of inventory losses because the holding period is much shorter when compared to imported
oil and the prices of indigenous oil tend to be more stable as opposed to imported oil.

Lastly, in the Real Estate segment, in its attempt to reduce the financial burden of the company, BCL has continued to utilize revenue from the
real estate to liquidate its debt, which is visible in the year-on-year results.

EXPANSION

Company commissioned its captive power plant at its Bathinda distillery which can use about 12,000 MT of paddy rice straw per annum
to generate power. This will have a substantial effect to reduce stubble (Paraali) burning in Punjab which is a major environmental issue in
North India during Oct to Dec every year. The Company takes pride in saying that there has been no instance of stubble burning (since 2022)
in the villages surrounding the Bathinda Distillery due to this power plant.

Expansion of Bathinda distillery from 200 KLPD to 400 KLPD has been completed in 2023 of which 200 KLPD is dedicated for ENA (extra
neutral alcohol) and balance 200 KLPD is for ethanol manufacturing.

The company has begun the expansion of its grain-based distillery at Kharagpur (West Bengal) manufacturing unit from 200 KLPD to 300
KLPD. Both distilleries of the Company have achieved the status of ‘zero discharge unit’ and ‘full backward and forward integrated unit’ in
2023. The Company has initiated the process of another 150 KLPD expansion post 400 KLPD at Bathinda plant.
