Recently, BCL Industries Ltd. has decided to reduce focus on the edible oil business segment due to depressed margins and sustainability pressure. The company will terminate the lease for the Jalalabad unit, shut down the Bathinda edible oil unit and shift a portion of the Bathinda edible oil business to the Bathinda distillery complex. BCL expects a significant reduction in its overheads and expects to monetise the Bathinda edible oil unit land in the near future.
