SPE

Sugar | Power | Ethanol

 

Our Sugar Power & Ethanol (SPE) Division runs an integrated state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Gobind Sugar Mills-Aira, located about 150 km from Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, producing high-quality sugar products under the brand name 'Zuari'. We are serving about 60,000 farmers and accessing 1,78,000 farm fields (~ 50,000 ha.) of sugarcane cultivation spread across three major districts and the facility caters to both bulk and retail markets.

Over the past decade, the mill has undergone a major transformation from a vintage facility to a modern sugarcane complex. The mill now houses a 10,000 tons of sugarcane per day crush facility, a 500 tons per day output of refined sugar plant, 40 MW per hour bagasse-based cogeneration, and a 125 KLPD distillery.

Brand Zuari is committed to provide high-quality and value-added products to its consumers while enabling the local farmers and supporting the sugarcane industry.

Sugar

Our sugar plant produces high-quality crystallized sugar that caters to both urban and rural markets worldwide. The newly commissioned refinery enables us to produce double-refined sulphur-free food and pharmaceutical-grade sugar. We export our products to Canada,  Middle East, Southeast Asia, and nearby countries. Our range of value-added sugar products include Icing Sugar, Bura, Super Fine, Sachets, Brown Sugar and Pharma Sugar. 

We focus on quality and customer satisfaction, which has helped us build long-lasting relationships with our customers. We support the local farmers and communities while ensuring sustainable practices. As we grow, we aim to expand both our market-share and our reach while continuing to provide wide-range of products and ensuring consumer satisfaction.

Power

Our SPE division has found an innovative way to generate clean power by utilizing the by-product of the sugar plant - bagasse. Through its 40 MW Cogeneration facility, the division converts the bagasse into steam that powers 3 boilers of 70TPH, 150 TPH and 35 TPH. Additionally, a portion of this steam is used in the sugar plant for process requirements.

Power generated from cogeneration facility is utilised in-house and the balance is exported to grid under a long-term power purchase agreement with UPPCL. By utilizing bagasse as a clean source of energy, the division is making a significant contribution towards sustainable and green energy. This initiative showcases our commitment to reduce carbon footprint.

Ethanol

Our newly commissioned distillery produces ethanol from C-heavy, B-heavy Molasses, and Sugarcane Juice. The ethanol thus produced is sold to oil marketing companies (OMCs) as part of the ethanol blending program (EBP) of the Govt. of India.

The distillery houses a 4 MW cogeneration plant with a modern slop-fired boiler. Being an environmentally conscious organisation, our distillery is a zero-liquid discharge facility.
