About TruAlt Bioenergy
TruAlt Bioenergy is a Bangalore-based biofuels producer with an installed ethanol production capacity of 2,000 kilo litres per day (KLPD) and an operational capacity of 1,800 KLPD, as of March 31, 2025. Its market share in FY25 stood at 3.6%, as per a Crisil report cited in the offer documents.
The company will spend Rs 150.68 crore of the fresh issue proceeds for setting up multi-feed stock operations to pave the way for utilising grains as an additional raw material in ethanol plants at Unit 4 of 300 KLPD capacity.
Further, Rs 425 crore will be used for working capital requirements, while the company will set aside the remaining fresh issue funds for general corporate purposes.
By March 2026, out of the 2,000 KLPD installed capacity, the company intends to convert 1,300 KLPD of current mono feed (sugarcane juice/sugar syrup/molasses) capacity to dual-feed, capable of producing ethanol from grainbased feedstocks or grains unfit for human consumption. It also intends to increase operational capacity from 1,800 KLPD to 2,000 KLPD.
