New Delhi, Nov 5, 2025:
In a major step toward sustainable energy, Andhra Sugars Limited has announced plans to set up a compressed bio gas (CBG) plant with an investment of ₹470 million (₹47 crore). The project, approved by the company’s board, will have a capacity of 10 tonnes per day (TPD).
A Move Towards Green Energy
The new plant marks Andhra Sugars’ entry into the renewable energy sector. The company aims to diversify its business operations and reduce its carbon footprint by producing clean and sustainable fuel from organic waste.
According to company officials, the project aligns with India’s growing push toward renewable energy and circular economy initiatives, which encourage industries to turn waste into energy.
Why It Matters
The new bio gas plant is expected to bring several long-term benefits for the company:
-
Diversification: Expanding into bio gas production opens up a new business line beyond traditional sugar operations.
-
Sustainability: The project supports global and national efforts to promote green energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Cost Efficiency: Over time, the company could lower its operational energy costs by using its own bio gas production.
What’s Next
The investment underscores Andhra Sugars’ strategy to stay competitive and environmentally responsible. Industry experts believe the project could serve as a model for other sugar companies looking to tap into renewable energy opportunities.
Investors and market watchers are expected to monitor the project’s progress closely to see how it influences the company’s financial performance and long-term sustainability goals.
