FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE SELECTED SUGAR INDUSTRIES IN TAMIL NADU: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

In the agro-based industrial sector, the sugar industry holds a prominent position, especially in developing nations like India. Government intervention, cost structure, price volatility, and agricultural output all have a significant impact on the industry's performance. By looking at industry structure, demand-supply dynamics, cost components, financial performance indicators, and policy implications, this study uses fundamental analysis to assess the sugar industries' operational and financial strength. The study identifies the major factors influencing profitability and sustainability in the sugar industry using secondary data from government reports, trade journals, and financial statements of particular sugar corporations. The results show that companies with diversified businesses and careful financial management have superior resilience against cyclical changes and stronger fundamentals.
