Government taking steps to boost revenue of sugar mills through production of PDM
The government is promoting Potash Derived from Molasses (PDM) as a revenue stream for sugar mills. By fixing a model price of ₹4,263/ton, it aims to utilize ash from incineration boilers. Mills must submit ash disposal details by November 25, 2024, to aid policy development. This initiative aligns with efforts to optimize sugar industry revenues.
The government is taking proactive measures to increase the revenue of sugar mills by exploring new opportunities. In a recent communication to sugar mills, the government highlighted that it has analyzed the data related to production of Ash as by-products especially in the sugar mills/distilleries having installed the incineration boilers and observed that this Ash has potential for production of PDM. To promote the production of PDM (Potash derived from molasses), the government has fixed model price of PDM @ Rs. 4263/Ton.
This step is aimed at providing an additional revenue stream for sugar mills by tapping into the by-product.
As part of this initiative, in order to assess the disposal of Ash produced from incineration boilers, the government asked sugar mills following information.
The mills have been directed to submit relevant details to the Directorate by November 25, 2024, via email at ethanol.fpd@gov.in.
If a sugar mill is not producing PDM, it is required to provide information under specific categories mentioned in the above table, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the ash disposal process.
These efforts are part of the government’s broader strategy to optimize the revenue generation potential within the sugar industry.
