Update on Commercial Projects

BPCL

• Received Purchase Order from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited

(BPCL), for Praj’s proprietary technology, basic engineering and design

package (BEDP)

• This is a major milestone towards commencement of work on the 2nd

Generation ethanol bio refinery with production capacity of 100 kiloliter

per day to be set up by BPCL at Bargarh, Odisha.

• The Purchase Order was awarded to Praj after the performance

evaluation of its 2nd generation integrated bio refinery demonstration

plant located in Maharashtra.

• Majority of the BEDP is ready for Execution

 Sweet Sorghum to Ethanol

© Praj Industries Ltd CONFIDENTIAL www.praj.net 31

Why Sweet Sorghuum

• No food / Industrial applications

• Net energy positive.

• Provide Juice and Bagasse

• Viable (low cultivation cost / high land productivity -

yields).-Local benchmarks…Molasses, Juice etc

• Provide fuel for steam / electricity.

• Large cultivation window around tropics (Equator

+/- 20 Deg)

• Cultivable for one cycle in moderate temperate

regions and two seasons if climate permit

• Complement local crops like sugarcane.
