- Dalmia Bharat Sugar and Industries: largest ethanol producers in India
- The company increased its distillery capacity from 140 KLPD in FY 2017-18 to 850 KLPD in FY 2023-24
- The increase in distillery capacity in the last few years was in response to the National Biofuel Policy that liberated the country’s demand appetite on the one hand and empowered sugar manufacturers to switch from sugar manufacture to ethanol production on the supply side.
- Debt-equity ratio was 0.13 and the company had 469 Crore of cash on its books as on March 31, 2024.
- The consolidated output from the company’s distilleries is poised to transform the company into one of the largest ethanol producers in India.
- Cane sourcing: The Company procures cane from around 2,00,000 cane growers (small and medium scale) and a cane area of around 1,20,000 hectares across five manufacturing units (three in Uttar Pradesh and two in Maharashtra). Around 70% of the cane was procured at the mill gate in FY2023-24, making it quicker and economical for growers to supply
- Ethanol production capacity: The Company increased ethanol capacity and production. From an ethanol production capacity of 80 KLPD in FY 2011-12, the company now has 850 KLPD in capacity in FY 2023-24. The Company comprises grain-based distilleries, with two new facilities to add 250 KLPD, graduating it into one of the largest ethanol producers in India.
