Project detail:
VSIL has obtained an Environmental Clearance in the year 2011 for the expansion of Sugarcane crushing capacity from 5500 to 11000 TCD, Molasses based Distillery unit (35 KLPD to 100 KLPD), ENA Plant (20 KLPD to 75 KLPD), and Co-generation power plant (39 MW to 64 MW), establishment of 30 KLPD Ethanol plant and D.G. Sets (2 x 1 MW) from Government of India, MoEF, (I.A. Division) Vide F. No. J- 11011/453/2009- II(I) Dated 20 th November 2011. Subsequent amendment was made in the year 2013 for the installation of 150 TPH boiler instead of 100 TPH Boiler in order to get additional power of 5 MW without increase in the fuel consumption. Vide F. No. J-11011/453/2009-IA –II (I) Dated 10 th September 2013. Further, VSIL received the Extension of validity of Environmental Clearance for Expansion of Sugar plant, Molasses based distillery, ENA Plant, Co-generation power plant and Establishment of Ethanol plant 30 KLPD vide file no J-11011/453/2009-IA –II (I) Dated 11 th January 2019
VSIL is an agro-based company focused on the manufacturing of sugar and allied by-products. The proposed plant units will be established in the existing premises of VSIL having 58.82 hectares of land is available with the industry for the proposed expansion of distillery capacity from 100 KLPD to 250 KLPD and 120 KLPD grain based distillery. Hence the expansion project shall be carried on 58.82 Ha of land owned by the Industry. No additional land is required for expansion.
The sugar industry is one of the major agro-based industry. India being the largest Sugarcane growing country after Brazil, the industry may surpass even Brazil and may stand as the largest producer of sugar and allied products. The major stakeholder of this sector is the farmer, and it is estimated around 45 millions of people in India are sugarcane growers. Sugarcane availability, agro-climatic conditions and the cost of conversion and overheads etc. are the major deciding factors for fixing the crushing capacity of a sugar plant. As there is excess cane available in the command area, industry shall have to make efforts for the timely crushing of sugarcane of not only of its shareholders but also the entire farmer community in the command area. Incidentally, the economic viability would also improve not only by producing RS/ENA/Ethanol but also to produce Sugar. The additional financial benefit can result in higher cane price. Besides the direct benefit, the expansion would help to crush sugarcane in time so that high recovery due to timely crushing would further improve the economy of the industry and in turn to farmers.
