In her conversation with CNBC-TV18, Avantika Saraogi, Executive Director, Balrampur Chini Mills Limited, spoke about India’s opportunity to lead the global transition towards a biocircular economy.
From a ₹160 Cr investment in India’s first-of-its-kind Lactogypsum project with a revenue potential of nearly ₹150 Cr, to making India's first PLA Bioplastic plant , the focus is clear — building sustainable, India-led solutions at industrial scale.
She also highlighted how evolving global conditions and the push for E20 blending have positioned ethanol as a strategic commodity for the future.
The lessons from ongoing geopolitical conflicts are evident: energy security, material security, and sustainability can no longer be viewed separately. Renewable biological resources are not just an environmental choice anymore — they are a strategic imperative for nations and industries alike.
At Balrampur Chini Mills, we remain committed to shaping a future that is circular, resilient, and built in India.
