Synopsis: Yashhhtej Industries boosts soybean processing to 500 TPD (up 67%) with expanded solvent extraction plant, starting commercial ops April 9, 2026. Stock rises 4.3%; poised for India’s growing edible oil demand.
The company has crossed a key milestone. The company has completed the expansion of its Soybean Solvent Extraction Plant. Commercial operations officially began on April 9, 2026.
The announcement comes as a positive signal for the company. Yashhtej Industries’s Limited’s stock, with a market capitalisation of Rs. 165 crores, rose Rs. 72.19, up 4.3 percent from its previous closing price of Rs. 69.18. Furthermore, the stock over the past year has given a negative return of 14.5 percent.
The plant now processes 500 tonnes of soybeans per day. That is up from its earlier capacity of 300 tonnes per day. This marks a 67% jump in processing output. The expansion was completed on schedule, with no reported delays.
Before going live, the company ran full-scale trial operations. All trial runs were completed successfully. The plant is now running smoothly at full enhanced capacity. No operational issues have been reported since the commercial launch.
Solvent extraction is a key step in soybean oil production. Higher capacity means more output, more sales potential, and stronger margins. Moreover, India’s edible oil market continues to grow steadily. Therefore, Yashhtej is now better positioned to meet rising demand.
