Commenting on the company’s performance, Shishir Joshipura, CEO & MD, Praj Industries, said, “We delivered a healthy and consistent performance throughout FY23 by leveraging our technology edge and strong delivery capabilities.

Expansion of mobility solutions beyond surface mobility which includes SAF are expanding horizons of opportunity for our business. We are confident of meeting expectations of all our stakeholders, as we move forward on our sustainable journey.”

Recently, Praj joined hands with AirAsia India and IOCL to fly the first commercial flight in India powered by a blend of ‘indigenous’ sustainable aviation fuel. The SAF blended in the ATF was produced by Praj using indigenous feedstock leveraging its relationship with Gevo, Inc USA.

To address the growing opportunity basket from the ETCA segment, Praj is setting up the most modern manufacturing facility to be housed in a new subsidiary – Praj GenX. The new facility will be set up near a major port with a capex of Rs 1000 million.

To accelerate commercialisation of bioplastics, Praj is setting up a first-of-its-kind demo plant for Polylactic Acid (PLA) at Jejuri on the outskirts of Pune. This pilot facility will be used for scaled production of food-grade lactic acid and polylactic acid.
