Praj Industries has bagged a series of global and domestic orders valued at Rs.100 crore, for setting up ethanol plants. The global orders have come from Pakistan, Turkey and South Africa.

In Pakistan, Praj would be setting up a fuel ethanol plant for Premier Agro. This would be the Praj's first order from Pakistan. In South Africa, Praj has been contracted to supply technology and process design for a distillery expansion project by Royal Swaziland Sugar Corporation at Simunye in Swaziland. In Turkey, Praj won an order from Konya Seker for setting up a fuel ethanol plant from beet juice.

In India, Praj Industries has been awarded a Rs.15 crore order for setting up a 60 klpd distillery for Balrampur Chini Mills. The distillery would be associated with the company's existing sugar mills at Balarampur.

(Note: The order from Balrampur Chini is a new development while the overseas orders represent the company's position as of October 2005. Some of the overseas orders discussed in this news item have been bagged earlier.)
