Som Group of Companies is set to establish a state-of-the-art integrated agri-processing project at the Khimsepur Industrial Area in Farrukhabad district. To be set up with an investment of approximately Rs 570 crore, the project will span across 40 acres of land, marking a significant milestone in the Madhyanchal region of Uttar Pradesh’s industrial and economic landscape.
The integrated agri-processing plant will host facilities for the production of ethanol, starch, gluten, and distillery products, as well as beverages, carbonated water, and by-products such as cattle feed.
Secretary of the Infrastructure and Industrial Development Department and CEO of Invest UP, Abhishek Prakash, said the state government has announced more than 30 policies to attract investment in various sectors, and UP consistently ranks in the ‘Top Achievers’ category in Ease of Doing Business (EODB).
The company received the allotment letter on Friday for the land parcel of 40 acres from the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA).
Deepak Arora, CEO of the Som Group of Companies, said that the plant is expected to commence commercial production within 15 to 18 months after receiving the necessary approvals. He said that the unit would directly employ approximately 350 people, while indirectly creating job opportunities for around 1,000 individuals.
