Ethanol ko mil rahi hai priority! Kyun?
Yaad hai 1966 ka Sugarcane Control Order? Ab usmein bada change aaya hai. Naya draft, Order 2026, sach mein sugar mills ko energy aur biofuel sector ka 'hero' banane par zor de raha hai. Sabse important baat yeh hai ki ab 600 liters ethanol ko 1 tonne sugar ke barabar mana jayega, jisse production quotas manage honge.
Ye sab India ki energy independence aur crude oil imports kam karne ki strategy ka hissa hai, especially jab poori duniya mein tensions chal rahi hain. Isse Balrampur Chini Mills (₹10,353 Cr Market Cap, P/E: 25.06), Triveni Engineering & Industries (₹8,648.70 Cr Market Cap, P/E: 28.63), aur Dhampur Sugar Mills (₹918.40 Cr Market Cap, P/E: 13.56) jaisi companies par pressure badhega ki woh ethanol production badhayein. India already E20 blending kar raha hai aur E85 tak jaane ka aim hai, matlab ethanol ki demand toh badhegi hi!
Khandsari sugar ka bhi game badlega!
Ab tak jo khandsari sugar alag-thalg kaam kar rahi thi, use bhi FRP system ke andar laya ja raha hai. Kaha ja raha hai ki isse industry mein transparency aayegi. Yeh sector saalana 13.5 million tonnes sugarcane use karta hai. Naye rules ke hisaab se khandsari units ke liye licence aur inspection mandatory hogi.
Factories aur Farmers ke liye kya hai naya?
Government ne naya sugar factory lagane ke liye minimum radius 15 km se badha kar 25 km kar diya hai, jisse growth aur spread out ho. Farmer se sugarcane purchase ke baad payment karne ka time 14 din ka hi rahega. Agar payment late hui, toh mills ko 15% annual interest dena padega.
Kya hain risks aur future outlook?
E85 petrol ke liye infrastructure ek bada challenge hai, aur current engines shayad itne high blends ke liye ready na hon. Ethanol par zyada focus hone se traditional sugar business se capital hat sakta hai. Khandsari ke liye data ki kami valuation ko mushkil bana sakti hai. Weather bhi ek factor hai, agar 2026 mein monsoon kamzor raha toh sugarcane kam ho sakta hai.
Par analysts ka kehna hai ki Balrampur Chini Mills aur Triveni Engineering & Industries jaise stocks mein abhi bhi dum hai aur 'Buy' recommendations aa rahi hain. Agriculture sector bhi tech aur government support se grow karega (estimated 9.68% CAGR from 2026-2034). Global sugar market bhi balance ho raha hai. Bas policy implementation aur mausam par nazar rakhni hogi.
