In a significant boost for farmers in Motihari district, the Bihar Cabinet has approved the establishment of two new sugar mills with a combined investment of ₹422 crore. These projects are expected to generate new business and employment opportunities for sugarcane farmers and local youth in the region.

The first project, proposed by M/s Shri Ganesh Sugar Mills Private Limited, Kolkata, will be set up in Chorma village, Pakaridayal block, under the Madhuban assembly constituency. This project, costing ₹180 crore, will include a 5000 TCD (Tons Cane Per Day) capacity sugar mill and a distillery. Its operation will provide local sugarcane farmers with a secure market for their produce, thereby promoting sugarcane cultivation and increasing their income.

The second major project, by M/s Rajshree Sugars, will be established in Kanjahia Tola, Kotwa block. Valued at ₹242.50 crore, this project will feature a 5000 TCD sugar mill, a 28 MW co-generation plant, and a 60 KLPD (Kiloliters Per Day) distillery. Both initiatives are set to directly benefit farmers from Madhuban, Chiraiya, Dhaka, Motihari Sadar, Shivhar, and the Terai region of Nepal. Additionally, they will create thousands of new job opportunities for local youth.

Madhuban MLA Rana Randhir expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister and the government for approving this ambitious project. He stated that his primary goal was to establish industries that directly connect with farmers and provide employment to the unemployed. Administrative procedures to implement these projects have already begun, which are expected to revitalize the rural economy.
