Article Abstract:
Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Ltd (KSCL) of Chennai has undertaken financial restructuring and cost cutting drive following huge losses during 1997-98. KSCL's performance was hit by high sugarcane prices without a corresponding rise in the levy quota. It was also affected by a fall in the price of sugar. Its petro- chemicals business was affected by devaluation of South-East Asian currencies and the subsequent free imports.
