Expansion Plans
BCL Industries Limited
(Formerly known as BCL Industries &
Infrastructures Ltd.)
To capitalize on the ENA supply demand deficit scenario of North-Eastern India, BCL joined with the regional player M/s.
Svarna Infrastructure to set up a 200 KLPD state-of-the-art ENA plant under its subsidiary M/s. Svaksha Distillery Limited
(SDL). With its local presence and expertise, M/s. Svarna Infrastructure has made headway into the SDL project by procuring
the required land at Kharagpur and have securing statutory clearances. BCL has awarded this contract as a turnkey project to
M/s. Praj Industries Ltd.
The following are the reasons for choosing West Bengal as an Expansion Destination by BCL:
1. West Bengal was dependent on a single Distillery.

It was observed that only 23% of the ENA demand is met with the production in the West Bengal State.
Kharagpur is declared as a dedicated East-West Freight corridors (DFCs).
In the vicinity of Haldia and Kolkata Port, which is about 100 KM from Plant.
Easier and cheaper in terms of availability of raw materials as West Bengal is amongst the largest rice producing states
in India.
The plot chosen for the plant is on NH60, which directly links major districts of Kolkata and other states such as Orissa and
Southern part of India. NH60 is also part of the golden quadrilateral project connecting major cities and ports.
About 30% of ENA manufactured at BCL was exported to West Bengal. Hence, the manufacturing facility in Bengal would
have helped BCL in the following ways:
a) Caters and propels demand in West Bengal.
b) Enjoys savings earned through eliminating transportations costs from Punjab to Bengal, that would have occurred.
c)
Has an advantage of saving duties levied on import in Bengal.
d) West Bengal is also a gateway to North East India and to East and South East Asia.View entire presentation
