BCL Industries to build 150 KLPD ethanol project; gets nod for 75 KLPD bio-diesel plant

BCL Industries has announced that it has received environmental clearance to set up a 150 KLPD ethanol production plant at its Bathinda distillery, with construction set to commence in the coming months.

Also, M/s. Svaksha Distillery Limited, a subsidiary of green energy major BCL Industries Limited, has secured an approval to establish a 75 KLPD bio-diesel plant and an oil extraction unit at its Kharagpur facility. This project, with an estimated cost of ₹150 crore, represents a substantial investment in bio-energy sector.

BCL Industries Limited has announced it as a significant progress in its green energy initiatives that is focusing on bio-diesel and ethanol production.

Simultaneously, work on a 75 KLPD bio-diesel plant at the Bathinda site is progressing at full speed. These efforts aim to enhance the company’s green energy capacity while supporting sustainable development goals.

These developments reflect BCL Industries’ dedication to green energy and will significantly strengthen its capabilities in this sector.

In October, I Am Renew reported the plans of BCL Industries Ltd. (BCL) to acquire Goyal Distillery Private Ltd., located in Fatehabad, Haryana, to give fillip to the company’s ethanol production dreams with an investment of about Rs 300 crore. Goyal Distillery already has the necessary land and permissions for setting up a 250 KLPD grain-based ethanol plant.

Founded in 1976, BCL Industries Limited is one of India’s leading agro-processing companies, boasting a diverse portfolio that includes edible oils, rice milling, ethanol production, grain-based distilleries, and real estate.

The government is bullish on achieving the target of 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025-26 which has been postponed from 2030. Recently, the Central Government has informed that India’s ethanol blending program has significantly impacted foreign exchange savings to the tune of Rs 1.08 trillion and reduced carbon emissions by 55.7 million metric tonnes, replacing 18.5 million tonnes of crude oil.
