 LIGHTING UP THE STREETS
The company has a 86 MW power plant running at
Dwarikeshnagar, Dwarikeshpuram and Dwarikesh Dham units. It
uses 30 MW for captive consumption and is capable to sell
the the balance power to Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation
(UPPC). The company uses bagasse (solid residue after
crushing of sugarcane), as raw material for the generation
of power.
The company has executed power purchase agreements
with UPPC for additional power, which the company expects to
produce. In order to generate power, bagasse is burnt in
boilers to generate steam. Steam generated through bagasse-fired-water-tube
boiler is fed to turbines for generation of power and
exhaust is used for sugar manufacturing process.
Our power co-generation plant was commissioned in 1996 with
an initial capacity of 6 MW. It was expanded to 9 MW in 2002
and was further increased to 26 MW Exportable power capacity
of the plant is 24 Mw. The company has commissioned 36 Mw
power plant in Dwarikesh Dham and 24 Mw co generation plant
in Dwarikesh Puram in December 2007. Thus as of now the
total power capacity of DSIL is 86 Mw.
DSIL's power co-gen plant exported surplus power of
71,338,500 KWH to the UPPCL during the last crushing season
2008-2009, which is our biggest consumer in this field. In
2001, the company had signed a power purchase agreement with
UPPCL for 10 years.
During the year 2008-09, our earnings from this segment
stood at Rs. 3766.38 lacs.
