Crushing capacity increased from 825 TPD to 1,650 TPD, making it the largest maize wet milling facility in Eastern India

Regaal Resources Limited, one of India’s leading maize processing companies, today announced the inauguration and commissioning of its expanded maize processing facility at Kishanganj, Bihar. Built with an investment of approximately Rs 389 crore, the expansion marks a major milestone in the company’s growth strategy and significantly strengthens its production capabilities across value-added maize products and specialty derivatives.

The expansion includes an increase in the integrated maize wet milling facility’s crushing capacity from 825 tonnes per day (TPD) to 1,650 TPD, along with the commissioning of a new Liquid Glucose manufacturing facility with a production capacity of 180 MT per day and a Maltodextrin Powder manufacturing facility with a production capacity of 50 MT per day. The project has been established to strengthen production capabilities, improve supply chain efficiencies, and cater to growing demand from industries including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, textiles, healthcare, animal nutrition, and industrial applications.

The expansion is also expected to support economic growth and strengthen Bihar’s manufacturing and agricultural ecosystem. The project is expected to create around 475 additional direct employment opportunities, increasing the company’s total workforce to nearly 950 employees, while also generating significant indirect employment opportunities across logistics, warehousing, transportation, procurement, contractual labour, and associated services. Additionally, the expansion is expected to support thousands of farmers by strengthening local sourcing networks and improving access to organised procurement channels.

Anil Kishorepuria, Chairman and Managing Director, Regaal Resources Limited, said, “The commissioning of our expanded crushing capacity to 1,650 MT per day and new derivative manufacturing facilities for Liquid Glucose of 180 MT per day and Maltodextrin Powder of 50 MT per day marks a significant milestone in Regaal’s journey towards becoming a diversified maize-based specialty products company. This expansion strengthens our presence in higher value-added maize derivative products and enhances our ability to cater to evolving customer requirements across the food, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and healthcare sectors.

At 1,650 MT per day, Regaal will now operate the largest maize wet milling facility in Eastern India, further strengthening our manufacturing scale and long-term growth prospects. Beyond expanding our product portfolio and enhancing production capacities, we believe this expansion will contribute meaningfully to employment generation in Bihar. The project is expected to create 475 additional direct employment opportunities, taking our total on-roll workforce to approximately 950 employees, while also generating significant indirect opportunities across contractual labour, logistics, warehousing, transportation, procurement, allied services, and the broader agricultural value chain.”

“Most importantly, this growth will continue to support the livelihoods of farmers and strengthen the rural economy in the region. We are also undertaking further expansion of our value-added product segment with a range of modified starch products and derivatives including Dextrose Anhydrous, Dextrose Monohydrate, and Hydrol, for which the associated capex is already underway, and commissioning is expected over the course of FY27. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the Government of Bihar for its continued support for industrial development in the state.

The incentives and policy support extended under the Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Policy (BIIPP) have played an important role in enabling industrial expansion and investment in the region, supporting companies like Regaal in scaling operations and creating long-term economic value within the state. The growing demand for maize derivatives, coupled with our strategic location, integrated infrastructure, and strong sourcing capabilities, positions us well to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”, he further added.

The Company also plans to further strengthen its value-added product portfolio through expansion into products including Dextrose Anhydrous (DAH), Dextrose Monohydrate (DMH), Hydrol, and a range of modified starch products, with commissioning expected during FY27. These additions are expected to enhance operating leverage, diversify the product portfolio, and enable margin expansion.

Regaal Resources has steadily expanded its manufacturing and processing capabilities over the years while strengthening its position in value-added maize products and derivative segments. The increased crushing capacity and newly commissioned facilities are expected to accelerate the company’s transition toward higher-margin specialty maize products and support growing domestic and international demand.

The inauguration of the expanded facility represents another step in Regaal Resources’ long-term growth strategy and its commitment towards strengthening Bihar’s industrial ecosystem, supporting agricultural value chains, creating employment opportunities, and contributing to the region’s economic development.
