The revival of the Sanjivani sugar mill in Goa is being planned with a focus on ethanol production, aligning with India’s biofuel push. The mill is expected to operate at a capacity of 3,500 TPD.

The shift towards ethanol reflects changing dynamics in the sugar industry, where mills are diversifying revenue streams.

Ethanol production is being encouraged as part of the government’s blending programme.

Revival of the unit is also expected to benefit local farmers by providing a stable market for sugarcane.
