Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has marked a significant milestone in its sustainable development journey with the inauguration of the nation’s first fully integrated Polylactic Acid (PLA) bioplastics plant by Balrampur Chini Mills. Located in Uttar Pradesh, this facility is powered by ethanol derived from sugarcane — a true example of circular economy and green innovation. This strategic advancement aligns with the BJP government’s long-term focus on self-reliance, sustainability, and industrial transformation. As global demand for biodegradable plastics rises, India now steps confidently onto the global stage with an indigenous solution rooted in agricultural strength and technological foresight. The plant not only strengthens India’s bioeconomy but also generates rural employment, boosts sugarcane farmers’ income, and reduces dependency on fossil-fuel-based plastics. It is yet another bold step in building a Viksit Bharat that values both growth and the environment.
