This updated Brochure on State Excise Statistics' for the second successive year is in continuation of the Department's earlier efforts. Data on Sugar Factories, Distilleries, Chemical Industry as also Potable Sector Units has been included. It is hoped that the information contained herein will be useful to a broad spectrum of clientele for ready reference. It is gratifying to note that the previous year's compilation has been much sought after by Government officials and the industry alike, all over the country.
2. The year 1989-90 has seen the highest level so far in the production of sugar and its by-product molasses (14-89 lakh tons) in the State. The earlier highest level of the decade was 11-51 lakh tons (1981-82) and the lowest was of 6-49 lakh tons (1983-84). Despite this high production, a balance of only 2-89 lakh tons remained at the close of the Alcohol Year in October 1990. (Compared to earlier balances of 3.64 lakh tons and 4-21 lakh tons respectively during the previous 2 years). This is indicative of a responsive, anticipatory and realistic management. Further, good rains during 1990 give grounds for optimism, for the production of molasses during this year, of higher order of about 17-00 lakh tons.
3. Production of alcohol has also seen an impressive rise from the highest level of 1653-22 lakh ltrs. (1984-85) to 2436-24 lakh ltrs. (in 1989-90) and is now estimated at 2700 lakh ltrs. (for 1990-91). The reduced closing balance of 140-87 lakh ltrs. Is Bombay.
a similar pointer to timely allocations and utilisation. Distilleries in the State have, for the first time, reached 63.51 per cent of their capacity utilisation, as compared to their normal 51-53 per cent range of performance over the previous years.
4. On the Excise Revenue front, the Department has ensured a significant rise from Rs. 382-06 crores (1988-89) to Rs. 456-58 crores (1989-90) and it is now estimated to cross well over Rs. 520-00 crores during the current financial year.
5. While alcohol utilisation by the functioning industrial and potable sector units (Country Liquor and IMFL) do reflect a substantial increase, the Excise Revenue accruals from the IMFL Sector have not kept proportionate pace due to over 50 per cent of the IMFL made in the State being exported to other States on payment of only a minimal Export Fee. It is hoped that this Imbalance would be corrected in course of the year. Also, efforts are being made to maximise the distillation of alcohol, in the Co-operative distilleries so that we are in a position to supply the same for several of the bulk consumer heavy industries, which have been promoted in the State.
6. The Department would always be receptive to suggestions from the users of this compilation and grateful for their cooperation.
