BCL Industries has completed commissioning of a 150 KLPD (kilolitres per day) ethanol brownfield expansion at its Bathinda, Punjab distillery. Total distillery capacity at Bathinda now stands at 550 KLPD, reinforcing its position as one of India's largest grain-based distilleries. The expansion aligns with the government's biofuels push. No capex amount was disclosed in the filing.
Capacity rise of about 37 percent (150 KLPD added to 400 KLPD) may boost revenue and margins, supporting long-term growth in the ethanol segment.
