Ethanol is a good oxygenate that considerably reduces vehicular emissions when blended with motor spirit. The industrial alcohol generation business has emerged as a key contributor to our revenues.

The benefits of ethanol can be extended through further refining of the product for the production of alcohol or gasohol, which is an eco-friendly substitute for vehicular fuel in petrol-driven vehicles. Additionally, as a result of the fermentation of molasses in the distillery, industrial alcohol can also be used in the manufacture of IMFL and country liquor.

The government of India’s mandate for mixing of ethanol with petrol suggests a bright future for this business, which we shall continue to nurture to higher levels of excellence going forward. Government has resolved to meet the target of 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025. Earlier the resolve was to achieve the target by 2030 which is now preponed by 5 years.
