Harmonizing Industry. Nurturing Our Planet.
At AB Udyog, industrial progress goes hand-in-hand with environmental stewardship—combining physical refining with a circular zero-waste value chain that strengthens West Bengal's agro-ecosystem.

For decades, AB Udyog has operated at the intersection of agriculture and modern processing in West Bengal. We believe manufacturing should strengthen, rather than deplete, the agro-ecosystems and local communities in which we work.
By maintaining physical refining lines that eliminate chemical neutralizers and utilizing agricultural residues for plant energy, we reduce processing footprints. Simultaneously, our continuous commercial demand for fresh rice bran creates steady value for regional rice mills and rural agricultural supply chains.
We focus our environmental and operational stewardship on practical, measurable manufacturing priorities across our facilities.
Every extraction fraction—from bran meal to wax, gums, and fatty acids—is directed into secondary industrial use.
Utilizing high-vacuum steam distillation to preserve natural Gamma Oryzanol without chemical caustic washing.
Sourcing fresh paddy rice bran from local milling partners across Bengal within hours of milling to prevent enzyme degradation.
Utilizing agricultural residues and eco-fuel byproducts for plant steam generation, lowering reliance on fossil fuels.
Our sustainability approach is structured around four long-term operational priorities across sourcing, refining, and community engagement.
We work closely with regional rice mills across West Bengal's paddy belt to procure fresh rice bran directly after milling. Sourcing rapidly prevents free fatty acid (FFA) escalation, converting a perishable milling by-product into valuable nutrition while providing dependable commercial off-take for local agro-enterprises.
All industrial derivatives from our continuous physical refining lines are channeled into secondary productive uses: fatty acids for soaps and oleochemicals, rice bran wax for cosmetics and polishes, DORB for animal feeds, and spent earth as auxiliary fuel for cement kilns.
Operating responsibly begins on the plant floor. We maintain strict hygiene protocols, machinery safeguards, and protective standards for our plant teams. Our facilities prioritize local hiring, providing fair, dependable industrial employment for communities surrounding our Uchalan complex.
We continuously optimize our plant utilities through multi-stage heat recovery systems and boiler fuel management. By reusing process steam and minimizing thermal loss, our engineering teams lower emissions per ton of refined oil, ensuring production efficiency aligns with environmental responsibility.
“Responsible manufacturing is about respect—for the raw agricultural materials we refine, the local communities we operate within, and the environment we share. We build an enduring enterprise through steady, conscientious practices.”
