The plan to increase the crushing capacity of this mill from 2500 TCD to 3500 TCD in the first phase and to 5000 TCD in the future, and granting approval to a project of approximately Rs 262 crore for this purpose, clearly shows that the government is committed to farmers’ income, timely sugarcane payment and the development of modern agriculture based industries.

This decision will prove beneficial not only for the Morna region but for sugarcane farmers across Western Uttar Pradesh. It will speed up crushing operations, ensure timely payments to farmers and also promote employment and economic activities at the local level.

This step will not only modernize the production capacity, efficiency and technical standards of the mill but will also strengthen the income, employment and economic security of thousands of sugarcane farmers in the region.
