Vishnu Sugar Mills Embarks on 90 Crore Ethanol Project in Bihar

Vishnu Sugar Mills Ltd. has announced a significant expansion with a new ethanol production facility in Khajuria and Harkhua, Gopalganj, Bihar. The project, valued at ₹90 crores, is set to bolster the region’s ethanol production capacity with a daily output of 60,000 liters. This venture aligns with the government's push for renewable energy sources, enhancing the sustainability of local industries.

Central to this project is the incorporation of a bagasse-based power unit with a capacity of 2.5 MW. This sustainable power solution aims to not only meet the energy demands of the ethanol production process but also contribute excess power to the local grid. This initiative underscores Vishnu Sugar Mills' commitment to green energy and reduces dependence on conventional power sources.

The choice of Gopalganj for this project is strategic, given its abundant agricultural produce, particularly sugarcane. The facility is expected to significantly uplift the local economy by generating employment opportunities and boosting the demand for raw materials from local farmers. This integration is poised to create a robust supply chain, enhancing agricultural productivity in the region.

With this development, Vishnu Sugar Mills is setting a benchmark in the ethanol production sector in Bihar. The project not only promises economic benefits but also supports environmental sustainability, aligning with global green energy goals. This move is expected to catalyze further investments in the region's renewable energy infrastructure.

As the project progresses, Vishnu Sugar Mills is keen on fostering community engagement and ensuring that the local populace benefits from this industrial growth. The company is set to collaborate with local stakeholders to maximize the socio-economic impact, making this ethanol project a cornerstone of sustainable development in Gopalganj.
