The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday said the proposed sugar mill in Gorakhpur's Pipraich will be the first such mill in north India to produce ethanol from sugarcane.
Speaking during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council, Minister of State (independent charge) for Sugarcane Development and Sugar mills, Suresh Rana said, "In the entire north India, the sugar mill coming up at Pipraich will be first such mill to produce ethanol from sugarcane."
On a supplementary question asked by Shashank Yadav (SP) pertaining to the poor condition of the state's jaggery industry, Rana said, "One of the major reasons behind it is that earlier the maximum distance between jaggery industrial units and sugar mills was 15 km, which has now been reduced to 7.5 km by the chief minister."
