1.1 Need of the Project

Distillery business is gaining more importance with regards to production, usage, easy availability of raw material (grains as maize, sugarcane molasses). With the increase in business it has a considerable share in national income. Alcohol industry is the second largest source of revenue of the state. The industry is probably only one in which the inputs are de-controlled, but selling prices are determined by local state levies and excise duties.

Some salient features of the distillery sector in are as under -

 Overall production of alcohol in India is 2350 million liters per annum which is consumed as 600 million liters as fuel grade Ethanol to be mixed with petrol and about 500 million liters finds use as industrial grade alcohol, used in downstream chemical manufacturing such as Acetic Acid, Acetaldehyde, Ethyl acetate etc. and approx 50% of the total production is consumed by potable segment.

 For potable purposes in India the alcohol is used to manufacture country liquor or Indian made foreign liquor. Extra Neutral Alcohol is vital ingredient in the making of an alcoholic beverage. It is most suited to produce potable liquor for which the demand is increasing both in domestic as well as international market.

 The downstream liquor industry using ENA and rectified spirit is expanding rapidly requiring new and increased production capacities along with optimized utilizations to tread well on the growth trajectory.
