Uttam Sugar Subsidiary Approves Distillery Capacity Quadrupling to 160 KLPD with ₹110 Crore Investment
The announcement involves a substantial capital expenditure of ₹110 Crore and quadruples the distillery capacity, which is a major strategic move with long-term implications for the company's growth and market position in the ethanol sector.
The significant capacity expansion aligns with government policy on ethanol blending, indicating strategic growth and potential for increased revenue and market share for the subsidiary and parent company.
Uttam Sugar Mills Limited announced that the Board of Directors of its subsidiary, Uttam Distilleries Limited (UDL), has approved a significant increase in its distillery capacity. * The existing distillery capacity of UDL will be expanded from 40 KLPD to 160 KLPD, representing a proposed addition of 120 KLPD. * This expansion project is slated for completion by March 2027. * The total investment required for this capacity addition is ₹110 Crore. * The project will be financed through a combination of own sources/promoters' contribution and loans/borrowings. * The rationale for the expansion is driven by the Government of India's policy promoting ethanol blending with fuel for its eco-friendly benefits and foreign exchange savings, coupled with the increasing national demand for ethanol.
