ANPR at Uttar Pradesh distilleries grows from a pilot into a statewide requirement

Plate-verified checkpoints, linked to weighbridges and the excise portal, closed the gaps in manual vehicle logs.

Uttar Pradesh · ANPR for excise compliance

Overview

Uttar Pradesh, April 2026. Distilleries in Uttar Pradesh move 70 to 100 vehicles a day, many with high-value ethanol shipments. Manual logs could not be trusted, and material theft was a systemic problem. ANPR closed the gaps.

What started as a pilot at Avadh Sugar & Energy is now a statewide mandate: every UP distillery must deploy ANPR before vehicle movement is permitted. Our published case study covers Lords Distillery and Aarti Distillery.

The system

ANPR cameras sit at four checkpoints: the entry gate, the inbound weighbridge, the outbound weighbridge and the exit gate. Each camera is integrated by API with the weighbridge software and with the UP Excise Department's IESCMS portal.

  • No vehicle bypasses a checkpoint without plate verification.
  • Empty and loaded weights are reconciled automatically.
  • All data goes to the government excise portal in real time.
  • Gate passes are generated only after full digital validation.
  • Every transaction has timestamped visual evidence.
