Taking a bold and decisive step towards eco-friendly industrialisation, Arunachal Pradesh’s government will set up the country’s first private 2G ethanol plant that uses bamboo as a renewable feedstock.
The state’s Rural Development and Panchayati Raj minister, Ojing Tasing, announced on his social media on Saturday his plans to work towards making Arunachal Pradesh a leader in India’s clean energy transformation.
“This ambitious project is more than a technological breakthrough; it is a statement of Arunachal Pradesh’s resolve to lead India’s clean energy transformation,” he said, adding that the use of bamboo aligns perfectly with the state’s abundant natural resources and commitment to sustainability.
Tasing also attended a virtual conference on ‘pioneering sustainable bio-industrial development in Arunachal Pradesh’, which was attended by policymakers, industry experts, and entrepreneurs.

Describing the initiative as a landmark platform to chart a greener and more prosperous future for the state, Tasing said the ethanol plant would not only promote eco-friendly industrialisation, but also open new economic opportunities for local communities.
“By leveraging our resources in a sustainable way, we will create a thriving bio-economy that generates green jobs, empowers rural communities, adds value to local produce, and strengthens our economic self-reliance,” he said.
Tasing said the project places “Arunachal at the forefront of the nation’s eco-industrial growth story”, and that the development “respects the environment, honours our people, and places.”
The aim of the conference, said the ministry, was to explore sustainable pathways for bio-industrial growth, a venture that could inspire similar initiatives across the country.
