To strengthen its ethanol business, the company is planning to procure larger quantities of maize, supported by evolving government policies that promote ethanol production from maize. A proposed initiative by the Central Government to establish a National Coordinating Agency (NAFED) for maize procurement is expected to ensure year-round raw material supply to sugar mills, including Davangere Sugar.
As part of its long-term strategy, the company is working closely with farmers in surrounding villages. It has initiated the distribution of sugarcane seeds and other agricultural inputs at subsidized rates, along with financial support through plantation subsidies. This farmer-centric approach aims to achieve approximately 15,000 acres of sugarcane cultivation in the upcoming season. The expansion into non-traditional cane-growing areas is expected to improve raw material security and offer socio-economic benefits to rural communities.
Davangere Sugar Company has established robust infrastructure with a sugarcane crushing capacity of 6000 TCD, a 65 KLPD ethanol plant, and a co-generation power plant of 24.45 MW. The company also owns five large warehouses with a total storage capacity of 60,000 tonnes, reinforcing its efficient storage and distribution network.
From its base in Kukkuwada, Karnataka, the company continues to play a key role in regional development and sustainability. With a focus on zero waste, green energy, and local employment, it stands out in its commitment to innovation and social responsibility.
