About us

A vision of pure sweetness

since 1997
History

Established in 1997-1998 in Mudhol by Dr. Murugesh R. Nirani, the facility initially operated as Khandasari Sugar Factory with a crushing capacity of 500 TCD. Recognizing the need for innovation and efficiency, it became the first in India to integrate advanced technologies that redefined sugar manufacturing standards. Adopting a high-pressure boiler (32 ATA) and a multiple-effect evaporator, along with captive power generation, significantly enhanced operational efficiency, energy optimization and cost-effectiveness. These strategic advancements streamlined production and reinforced the factory’s commitment to sustainability and industry leadership, setting new benchmarks in modern sugar processing.
