India has a key position in the worldwide sugar economy, emerging as the foremost sugar producer since 2021-22, surpassing Brazil in production. Additionally, the status of the second-largest sugar exporter globally is held by India. Over the past five years, the sugar industry has been strengthened by the expansion of the ethanol biofuel sector, contributing to the improved financial standing of sugar mills. Press mud, often known as filter cake or press cake, is acknowledged as a valuable resource for green energy production. Press mud is a residual byproduct of the sugar industry. Additional revenue can be generated for Indian sugar mills by utilizing this byproduct as a feedstock for biogas production through anaerobic digestion and subsequent purification to create compressed biogas (CBG). During the 2022-23 timeframe, among the 531 operational sugar mills in India, 330 were privately owned, 190 were cooperative, and 11 were public. The fiscal year 2022-23 recorded India’s sugar production at 32.74 million tonnes, along with approximately 11.4 million tonnes of press mud. Regarding regional production, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra contribute to approximately 65 percent of the total sugarcane cultivation area, being the primary sugarcane-growing states. The total sugarcane production in India reached about 495 million tonnes in 2022-23, with key contributions from Uttar Pradesh (225.2 million tonnes), Maharashtra (123.9 million tonnes), Karnataka (62.5 million tonnes), Tamil Nadu (16.9 million tonnes), and Bihar (12.1 million tonnes).
