Balrampur Chini Mills Share Price

Balrampur Chini Mills is one of the largest sugar manufacturing companies in India. It also has one of the biggest supply networks in the country. The company, founded in 1975, was initially engaged in sugar manufacturing. It was one of the first sugar companies in the country to diversify into distillery and co-generation segments.

The company was listed on the Calcutta Stock Exchange in 1979. Balrampur Chini Limited’s current operations are spread across various sectors from sugar production to power cogeneration. Currently, it deals in molasses, alcohol, ethanol and other agri-input products.

The company started operations in 1975 with a 800 tonnes per day capacity plant. Currently, the plant is functioning at 12,000 tonnes per day capacity due to the innovative scaling and scope approach. In 1976, Balrampur Commercial Enterprises Limited (BCEL) came under the banner of Balrampur Chini. In 1979, Balrampur Chini became the sole company for all its product manufacturing and distribution entities.

The company then expanded its operations again in 1990 and 1998 by acquiring two different sugar mills. These mills currently have a crushing capacity of 10,000 and 7,000 tonnes per day. In 1995, the sugar producer commissioned a distillery in Balrampur.

Balrampur Chini has also extended its business with cogeneration and first commissioned a bagasse-based cogeneration plant in 2003. It also commissioned another crushing mill the same year and a second cogeneration plant. The years 2004 and 2005 were a hallmark again as the company commissioned a distillery, a cogeneration plant and a sugar project of 7,000 tonnes.

The year 2020 marked a significant step for the company as it commissioned a huge 170 kilo litres per day capacity distillery to manufacture ethanol.
