In a recent cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a proposal to establish an ethanol plant at the closed Chhata Sugar Mill in Mathura has been approved. Sugarcane Development Minister Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary revealed that this extension plant, with a budget exceeding Rs 200 crore, will operate for 11 months annually.
The mill, which was closed 19 years ago, will have an annual production capacity of 3.96 crore litres of ethanol. After the sugarcane crushing season concludes, the plant will also produce ethanol from maize and paddy. Situated approximately 40 minutes from Noida International Airport, the location of the Chhata Sugar Mill adds significance to the project, potentially enabling the development of warehouses and other facilities.
This initiative is anticipated to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities for the region.
