A promising step toward industrial innovation and sustainable development was taken at the recent Uttar Pradesh Excise Investor Summit. A positive and forward-looking meeting took place with Hon’ble UP Excise Minister Shri Nitin Agrawal and the Excise Commissioner, marking a crucial moment in the state’s development journey.
During this landmark event, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed for an investment of ₹74 crore aimed at boosting dual-mode ethanol production in the state. This initiative aligns with the broader national goals of reducing dependence on fossil fuels, encouraging green alternatives, and fostering responsible industrial growth.
Dual-mode ethanol production—leveraging both first-generation (sugarcane-based) and second-generation (biomass-based) technologies—not only ensures a diversified input base but also adds significant value to agricultural residues, reducing waste and promoting circular economy practices.
Key Highlights:
- Investment Value: ₹74 crore
- Focus Area: Dual-mode ethanol production
- Impact: Enhanced sustainability, green fuel alternatives, rural economy support, and job creation
This strategic investment reflects the Uttar Pradesh government’s proactive approach to
attracting forward-thinking enterprises and fostering a climate of innovation in its excise and
industrial sectors. It also reinforces the state’s commitment to becoming a hub for sustainable
and future-ready industrial practices.
With the support and vision of leaders like Shri Nitin Agrawal, Uttar Pradesh continues to pave the way for high-impact investments and meaningful collaborations that benefit both the economy and the environment
