Dhampur Sugar Mills Ltd has unveiled plans to establish a 350 KLPD ethanol production unit as part of its expansion into biofuels and value-added products. 

The move supports India’s Ethanol Blending Programme, targeting 20 percent blending in petrol by 2025. 

Diversification into ethanol, chemicals, and power generation allows sugar producers like Dhampur to stabilise earnings amid fluctuating sugar-price cycles. 

The company’s investment underscores how traditional agribusinesses are transforming into integrated energy and bio-product enterprises contributing to India’s clean-energy transition.
