The impact of the Yogi government’s three-year Excise Export Policy (2026-29) is becoming visible across international markets, as well as among farmers and industries. Along with the rise in exports, demand for raw materials has also increased.
Higher production of ENA has boosted demand for molasses from sugar mills, while increased production at grain-based distilleries has led to higher grain procurement. This is giving fresh momentum to economic activities at the intersection of agriculture and industry.
Amid growing industrial activity in the state, the establishment of new units is also gaining momentum. United Breweries is setting up a new unit in Unnao, while Mount Everest Breweries is establishing one in Hardoi. In Farrukhabad, Woodpecker Greenagri Nutrients has already set up a unit. These developments are expected to boost production and business activities in the respective regions.
Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Excise and Prohibition Nitin Agarwal said, “Under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the benefits of the policy are reaching farmers across the state. Increased ENA production has led to higher demand for molasses from sugar mills. Similarly, rising production at grain-based distilleries has resulted in increased grain procurement. This has not only enhanced demand for agricultural produce but also strengthened the economic linkages between agriculture and industry.”
In Moradabad, Allied Blenders and Distillers has reactivated a previously closed unit. Meanwhile, Kian Distillery has applied to establish a beverage distillery and brewery in Gorakhpur.
Excise Commissioner Dr Adarsh Singh said, “The expansion of exports is also encouraging industrial activity across the state. The establishment of new units and revival of closed facilities are enhancing production capacity while creating additional business opportunities in the respective regions.”
He added, “The policy also takes farmers’ interests into account. Any distillery, or its owner, against whom a Recovery Certificate for pending sugarcane price payments is in force in respect of another unit or sugar mill, will not be eligible for exemptions under the policy. This provision ensures that the benefits of the policy remain subject to prescribed regulatory conditions.”
