Cuando se ponga en servicio, se convertirá en la planta de etanol basada en jarabe de azúcar de mayor capacidad de la India. Esta expansión de capacidad planificada por GBL está en consonancia con la política de biocombustibles del Gobierno para aumentar la cantidad de fabricación de etanol en la India utilizando diversas materias primas ricas en azúcar.

La expansión mantendrá las normas de descarga de líquido cero mediante el despliegue de la innovadora tecnología SHIFT, desarrollada en las instalaciones de I + D de última generación de Praj (Praj Matrix). Esta tecnología minimiza la huella de agua y energía, al tiempo que maximiza el valor para los clientes.
