TruAlt Bioenergy has secured an ethanol allocation of 27.48 crore litres worth ₹1,715.27 crore from four public-sector oil companies for Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2026–27. The allocation is the largest among listed suppliers tracked in Bioenergy Business’s company-wise review of the first procurement round.
The company named Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), Indian Oil (IOCL) and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals (MRPL) as buyers in its November 12 exchange filing. The tender value excludes freight and applicable taxes. The supply period runs from November 1, 2026 to October 31, 2027, subject to extension.
Grain accounts for 96% of TruAlt’s ethanol allocation
Surplus food grains account for 15.21 crore litres, or about 55% of the allocation by volume. Maize accounts for 8.87 crore litres, damaged food grains for 2.39 crore litres and C-heavy molasses for 1 crore litres. The award represents about 2.5% of the 1,099.23 crore litres in the ESY 2026–27 Cycle 1 allocation.
Nayara supply lifts disclosed ethanol commitments to ₹1,904 crore
TruAlt also disclosed a separate supply of 3 crore litres to Nayara Energy at ₹63 a litre, worth ₹189 crore. Together with the public-sector allocation, that brings the disclosed volume to 30.48 crore litres and the combined value to ₹1,904.27 crore.
The company put the aggregate value of five components at ₹3,382.29 crore. That figure also includes ₹503.02 crore in ethanol supplies carried over from ESY 2025–26, ₹345 crore in expected sales of distillers grains and ₹630 crore in expected sales of extra neutral alcohol.
The public-sector tender calls for payment within 21 days of delivery and submission of the original invoice, subject to deductions. It also provides for a 3% reduction on shortfall volumes under specified conditions.
