Triveni's association with the Sugar
Industry is as old as the Industry itself. In pre- independence India,
the promoters of what is now the Triveni Group established several sugar
factories in pre independent India. Even now, Triveni is the pre-
eminent name in the Indian sugar industry.
With a current cane crushing capacity of 61,000 TCD (Tonnes Crushing
per Day), the Triveni Group continues to be one of the largest producers
of sugar in India. The crush capacity of the existing plants are (as
follows;
- Khatauli, in District Muzaffarnagar (16,000 TCD)
- Deoband in District Saharanpur (14,000 TCD)
- Ramkola in District Kushinagar (6,500 TCD)
- Sabitgarh in District Bulandshehar (7,000 TCD)
- Chandanpur in District J P Nagar (6000 TCD)
- Raninagal in District Moradabad (5500 TCD)
- Milak Narainpur in District Rampur (6000 TCD)
The new capacities at Chandanpur, Raninagal & Milak Narainpur
together with the brownfield expansion at Ramkola were commissioned
during the sugar season 2006-07.
All seven sugar factories are located in the state of Uttar Pradesh. In
all the factories, double suphitation process is followed for sugar
production.
The sugar produced at Triveni's factories is direct consumption
plantation white low ICUMSA (an International method for determining
colour value of sugar, lower value means whiter sugar), bold grain sugar
which commands premium in the market. A lot of emphasis is placed on the
quality control procedures and quality of sugar produced in the
factories.
At all the factories, emphasis is on usage of energy efficient systems,
modern technology and R & D for better operations and for improved
per hectare sugar output.
Khatauli, Deoband & Sabitgarh plants are located in fertile, well
irrigated and high cane intensity region of western Uttar Pradesh where
the sugar cane crop is least dependent on the vagaries of the Monsoon &
therefore are very consistent in terms of the cane availability &
capacity utilization.
The Ramkola unit is located in lucrative eastern UP where the
realization of sugar (particularly because of the robust demand from
sugar deficient West Bengal) is better as compared to western UP.
The three new sugar units are located in the Central UP.
The cane development activities taken up by the factories are regarded
to be amongst the best in the industry. Group has been pioneer in using
modern techniques like Satellite tracking for getting information on
area in its command for enabling decisions on which variety to be
propagated in which area. Factory has huge data base on individual
farmer's field data (total cane area, past supplies, ratoon and plant
cane acreage, soil details, land type details etc.) to take prudent
decisions on cane development.
