BCPL Railway Infrastructure Limited has announced a new development. Its subsidiary, BCL Bio Energy Private Limited, has begun production.

The production is happening at its 300 Ton Per Day (TPD) edible oil extraction plant in Burdwan, West Bengal.

This new plant will produce crude edible oils such as rice bran oil and mustard oil.

The plant is designed to extract crude oils from rice bran and mustard oil cake. The by-products of this process are called de-oiled cakes.

They are often used as animal feed. They are also exported to countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam.

This initiative aligns with India’s goal of reducing its dependency on imported edible oils, enhancing the country’s energy security.

Rice Bran Oil (RBO), one of the main products from this plant, is gaining popularity for its health benefits.
