Bansal Engineers commissions 5,000 MT wheat silo in Uttar, India
Bansal Engineers delivers its projects on a turnkey basis, covering design, fabrication, erection, and commissioning
INDIA – Bansal Engineers (Grain Milling) LLP has commissioned a 5,000 metric-tonne (MT) wheat grain silo for a key client in Uttar Pradesh, reinforcing bulk storage infrastructure in one of India’s largest wheat-producing states.
According to the company, the newly commissioned steel silo is engineered using heavy-gauge corrugated steel and reinforced structural components designed to meet regional handling and climatic requirements.
The system supports high-capacity grain intake and controlled storage conditions, reducing exposure to moisture ingress, pests, and handling losses.
This system reflects ongoing private-sector investment in grain infrastructure across northern India, where millers and grain aggregators are modernizing facilities to improve efficiency and reduce post-harvest losses.
By shifting from conventional bag storage to vertical bulk storage, operators can improve inventory rotation, enhance traceability, and lower labour-intensive handling costs.
Operating under the Bansal Group, whose engineering roots date back to 1975, Bansal Engineers delivers its projects on a turnkey basis, covering design, fabrication, erection, and commissioning.
Over the decades, the company has expanded its portfolio from milling machinery into integrated grain storage and handling solutions, serving wheat, maize, rice, and pulse processors.
India, the world’s second-largest wheat producer after China, typically produces more than 110 million tonnes of wheat annually, according to government data.
In such a high-volume production environment, scientific storage and bulk handling systems are critical to preserving grain quality and stabilizing supplies for millers.
Bulk silos with integrated aeration, temperature monitoring, and mechanized conveying systems provide measurable improvements in quality preservation and operational throughput.
For Bansal, its manufacturing facility spans approximately 40,000 square meters and employs more than 500 professionals engaged in fabrication of processing equipment and bulk storage systems.
The company supplies grain silos ranging from a few hundred tonnes up to 20,000 MT per unit, with larger storage capacities delivered through modular multi-silo configurations.
Structures are built with high-tensile connections and protective coatings intended to withstand environmental stress while maintaining stable internal storage conditions.
Recent projects highlight the company’s move toward larger integrated systems.
It commissioned a 60,000 MT storage complex comprising six 10,000 MT silos alongside a 100 tonne-per-hour (TPH) grain unloading and pre-cleaning system.
The firm has also delivered silos and complete grain handling systems supporting ethanol feedstock infrastructure in Punjab, aligning with India’s expanding biofuel blending program.
In addition, it completed a whole wheat atta flour processing plant, signaling further integration into downstream value-added processing.
Beyond India, Bansal Engineers reports installations across Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Algeria, Chile, Iran, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Nepal, while maintaining a broad installed base in Indian mills.
