ChiniMandi, a news and information portal for the sugar and allied industries, is set to host the third edition of the “Sugar & Ethanol India Conference (SEIC) 2024” on February 1st and 2nd, 2024, at Andaz by Hyatt, Aerocity, New Delhi. This event, with the theme “Issbaarkuchhatke,” promises to be a significant gathering in the sugar industry.
MRN (Nirani) Group is the Presenting Sponsor, and KBK Group (Renuka Sugar Group Company) is the Title Sponsor. Alongside the conference, ChiniMandi will introduce the first “Sugar & Ethanol International Awards 2024 (SEIA 2024)” to recognize outstanding contributions to the sugar industry.
The conference gains importance as India leads the Global Biofuel Alliance, with the domestic sugar industry playing a crucial role in the country’s biofuel and sustainability goals. Taking place in February, during the peak sugarcane crushing operations of the 2023-24 sugar season, SEIC 2024 is expected to provide insights into India’s sugar production and ethanol blending dynamics in 2024, vital for achieving the 20% ethanol blending target by 2025.
“The Conference will provide a platform for stakeholders to share their insights and expertise on a range of critical issues facing the sugar and ethanol industries,” said Uppal Shah, Co-founder and CEO of ChiniMandi. “We are confident that SEIC 2024 will be a valuable resource for all participants, providing them with the knowledge and connections they need to succeed in this dynamic industry.”
The conference has seen success in previous years and is expected to attract a distinguished lineup of speakers, offering a comprehensive perspective on the sugar industry, including topics like the sugar balance sheet, international trade dynamics, pricing, production forecasts, and weather forecasts.
