Balrampur Chini Secures First PLA Order from Lucknow Cantonment Board
Balrampur Chini Mills' PLA vertical, Balrampur Bioyug, secured its first institutional order from Lucknow Cantonment Board for compostable PLA products. This order includes garbage bags, bottles, pens, and folders. A ceremonial event is planned for June 5th. The order precedes the commissioning of BCML's PLA plant in October 2026.
This is the first institutional order for the PLA vertical, which is a new business area for the company. While positive, its financial impact will depend on the scale of future orders and the successful commissioning of the manufacturing plant.
The announcement details a significant first order for the company's new PLA vertical, indicating market acceptance and a positive step towards commercialization of their sustainable products.
Balrampur Chini Mills Limited's (BCML) PLA vertical, Balrampur Bioyug, has secured its first official institutional order from the Lucknow Cantonment Board (LCB). This order includes compostable garbage bags, 300 ml PLA bottles, 3D-printed PLA compostable pens, and PLA folders, all manufactured from renewable, bio-based Polylactic Acid (PLA). This marks a significant milestone for India's bio-based materials ecosystem and is particularly noteworthy as it precedes the commissioning of India's first domestic industrial-scale PLA manufacturing unit by BCML in October 2026.
To commemorate this partnership and the adoption of PLA-based bioplastics, Bioyug and the Lucknow Cantonment Board will jointly host a ceremonial event on World Environment Day, June 5th, within the Lucknow Cantonment area. This event will formalize the large-scale adoption of PLA-based bioplastics in routine institutional use and will be attended by representatives from the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, and other key stakeholders.
Shri Abhishek Rathour, CEO of Lucknow Cantonment Board, stated that the adoption of PLA bioplastic items into their operational frameworks reflects their commitment to embedding sustainability into everyday governance and aligning defense establishments with India's long-term climate and circular economy goals. Ms. Avantika Saraogi, Executive Director of Balrampur Chini Mills Limited, added that this order signals institutional trust in India's emerging biopolymer capabilities and demonstrates that sustainable materials are credible, performance-oriented solutions for large-scale institutional use.
