BCL Industries reports strong FY25 growth, exits edible oil for green energy

BCL Industries Limited reported a robust financial year 2024-25 with total revenue reaching INR 2,910 crores, marking a 32.2% year-on-year growth. EBITDA increased by 7.2% to INR 214 crores, with profit after tax rising by 6.6% to INR 103 crores. The company's distillery division was a key growth driver, with ethanol volumes up 51% to 1,95,685 KL, contributing INR 1,392 crores in revenue.

The company announced a strategic decision to exit the edible oil business to sharpen its focus on energy-led growth through distillery, ethanol, and biodiesel segments. Key growth initiatives include a 150 KLPD ethanol plant at Bathinda, targeted for commissioning by December 2025, and a 75 KLPD biodiesel plant at Bathinda, expected to be operational shortly. BCL is also evaluating a 20 MTPD Bio-CNG project using paddy straw. These initiatives align with the national push for energy independence and sustainable fuels.
