The Sweet Taste of Success

Sugar originates from Sugarcane which is cultivated across expansive farmlands in Northern, Western, and Southern India. Shri Dutt manages three sugar mills strategically located in the sugarcane-abundant regions of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Shri Dutt also owns and manages a sugar refinery in Kandla, Gujarat which is very close to the Kandla port and aides in trade at a minimal transport cost.

Sugarcane undergoes crushing to extract its juice, which is later refined into pristine sugar crystals. This sugar not only caters to India’s internal consumption but is also exported to various nations worldwide. The sugar industry, being an agro-based industry in India, is responsible for creating a far-reaching impact on the rural economy, thereby influencing the country’s economy as a whole. The expansion and development of the industry creates employment opportunities and growth prospects for not only the farmers of the territory, but also in allied and ancillary industries like harvesting, transport, trade, servicing and maintenance of machinery, and supply of agriculture inputs.

Sugarcane, a kharif crop, is produced in large quantities in India. As per the economic survey 2021-22, India is the largest consumer and the second-largest producer of sugar in the world. Average annual production of sugarcane is around 35.5 crore tonnes, which is used to produce around 3 crore tonnes of sugar. The capacity for manufacturing sugar is distributed roughly equally between private sector units and cooperative sector units.
