Davangere Sugar Company Limited (DSCL) is planning to maximise ethanol production during the Financial year 2024-2025.
In a corporate announcement, company said, “During the Financial year 2024-2025, DSCL plans to produce ethanol primarily from maize and other damaged grains until the crushing season begins in October 2024. To maximise ethanol production, the company aims to procure larger quantities of maize from various regions across the country. Government policy currently encourages ethanol production from maize, and the Central Government is in the process of establishing a National Coordinating Agency (NAFED) to procure maize from farmers and supply it to sugar factories for ethanol production. This initiative will benefit our factory and others by ensuring a sufficient supply of maize for continuous, year-round operations.”
