Why the KA-AP Border?

Moving the plant to the Andhra-Karnataka border is a masterstroke in supply chain resilience. This location sits at the intersection of two major "Rice Bowls" of the Deccan Plateau.

  • Double Feedstock Catchment

    Access to 2.36 lakh hectares of paddy in Ballari (KA) plus massive output from Kurnool/Anantapur (AP).

  • Logistic Optimization

    Excellent connectivity via National Highways connecting Hyderabad and Bengaluru, ensuring smooth ethanol dispatch to OMCs.

Engineering Specifications

Proprietary pretreatment and C5/C6 co-fermentation process designed for high-silica Rice Straw.

Pre-Treatment

Biomass is subjected to high-pressure steam (15-20 bar) followed by rapid decompression. This physically disrupts the lignin seal, exposing cellulose fibers for enzymatic attack.

  • Temp: 190°C - 210°C
  • Residence Time: 5-10 mins
