Balrampur Chini shares climbed 4% on Friday, following the ₹75 crore BioE3 grant for its 100 TPA PLA Co-Polymer R&D facility.
Shares of Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd rose to ₹689 on Friday after the company received a ₹75 crore grant from the Government of India for a new PLA Co-Polymer research and development facility in Uttar Pradesh.
The grant has been awarded by the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) under the Department of Biotechnology for setting up a 100 TPA PLA CoPolymer R&D facility under the government's BioE3 initiative.
The facility will come up at Balrampur Chini Mills' integrated manufacturing complex in Kumbhi, Uttar Pradesh, where the company is also setting up India's first integrated commercial PLA manufacturing facility.

Balrampur Chini Mills share price opened on Friday at ₹663 and touched an intraday high of ₹689. At 12:20 pm IST, the stock stood at ₹675.75, up ₹16.35 or 2.48%.

Analysts have said the next focus for the company would be the execution of its biomanufacturing plans and the development of commercial applications for PLA and related materials.
What Is Balrampur Chini Mills Building With The BioE3 Grant?
The proposed facility will focus on developing specialised PLA grades and advanced PLA co-polymers for high-value applications. It is designed to take product development beyond laboratory research and prepare technologies for commercial-scale manufacturing.
The company said the facility will support customer validation, pilot sample production, product performance testing and the development of process know-how required for larger-scale production.
The R&D centre will also generate techno-economic data and train skilled talent for the biomanufacturing sector. A limited-service model will allow collaboration with academic and research institutions on sustainable materials and related technologies.
The project is linked to the company's wider PLA manufacturing plans at Kumbhi. The ₹75 crore government grant is intended to support the research and pilot-scale stage of that work.
For the new R&D facility, the stated objective is to bridge the gap between laboratory work and commercial production, with the project covering product formulation, pilot production, validation and preparation for scale-up.
