The new plant in its Bathinda unit has basically increased the capacity to two times by doubling the output, a plant in Kharagpur and a subsidiary expansion all increased the total ethanol production capacity of the company to 700 KLPD. Since the increased capacity also allows BCL Industries to take advantage of the rising demand for ethanol, the company has received more orders than it can produce from OMCs, which are booked until November 2024.

The latest results of BCL are a clear way of showcasing the benefits it has enjoyed from these strategic expansions.

Moreover, BCL Industries and its subsidiary, Svaksha Distillery Limited, prayed and received an allocation of 18250 litres of ethanol for use in the Ethanol Blended Petrol Program EBPP for the Ethanol Supply year 2024-25. This allocation is a 17% increase from the previous year's allocation of 16.94 crore litres because of Svaksha Distillery's increase in availability of 100 KLPD during FY 24. This expanded allocation consolidates BCL Industries' positioning in the ethanol supply chain further enhancing their mandate in facilitating the energy transition in India.
