Sugar

DSCL entered the sugar business in 1998 when it set up its first sugar manufacturing unit at Ajbapur, Distt. Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh. Other than Ajbapur, its manufacturing units are located at Rupapur, Hariawan & Loni, all in district Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh. While Rupapur was acquired in 2003, Loni and Hariawan were set up as Greenfield projects in 2007.The company works with approximately 1.5 lac farmers, has an installed capacity of 33,000 TCD and crushes around 4 million tons of cane from four manufacturing units. DSCL Sugar is the 5th largest sugar business in India.

All of our production facilities are completely self-sufficient as regards reliable captive power based on bagasse, which is a sugar by-product, and are equipped with modern equipment and machinery. These in turn have made us one of the most efficient crushers and producers of sugar in the country. The four units together have an installed cogeneration capacity of 94.5 MW, out of which they supply 51.5 MW of renewable energy to the national grid.

Each of these units has invested in state of the art technology that gives them one of the best manufacturing efficiencies in the country. Every unit has put in place rigorous quality systems that have won them ISO certification for quality (ISO 9000), environment (ISO 14000), health & safety (OHSAS 18000).

DSCL lays huge emphasis on regular interaction with farmers for development of cane quality in its cane command area. It has one of the largest field forces in the country who regularly advice and support farmers on the agronomy of cane cultivation.

The company maintains a website (www.dsclsugar.com) for the benefit of the farmers where all supply and payment related information is available to the farmer at a click of a button.
