Profile

Bajaj Hindusthan Ltd., a part of the 'Bajaj Group', is India's number One sugar and ethanol manufacturing company. In December 2005, the company took over The Pratappur Sugar & Industries Limited in District Deoria, East U.P. This Plant, in operation since 1903, had a crushing capacity of 3,200 tcd, which has been increased to 6,000 tcd in the sugar season 2006-07. There is a large culturable area around this Unit with high potential of increasing cane cultivation and scaling up capacities significantly.

The Pratappur Sugar & Industries Limited has now been renamed Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar and Industries Limited (BHSIL) and is a subsidiary of BHL. With most sugar Plants in the vicinity closed, expansion of capacities at BHSIL will benefit the local farmer community and improve the rural economy of the region. This acquisition provides BHL a strategic foothold in the sugar-deficient region of Eastern UP and reaffirms the consolidation taking place in the sugar industry today.

BHSIL has embarked upon significant new expansions. While the capacity of its existing sugar plant has been enhanced from 3,200 tcd to 6,000 tcd, three new sugar units were set up in virgin,  cane-rich areas of East UP : a 7,000 tcd plant in Rudauli (district Basti), a 15,000 tcd plant in Kundarkhi (district Gonda), a 12,000 tcd plant in Utraula (district Balrampur). Thus, BHSIL will have a crushing capacity of 40,000 tcd. BHSIL is also setting up a distillery with the capacity to manufacture 160 kilo-litre per day of industrial alcohol/ ethanol.

The Bajaj Hindusthan Group is proud to be associated with the farming community of Uttar Pradesh and to contribute towards the economic development of rural India.
