CRYSTAL
CLEAR AND HEALTHY
Dwarikesh Sugar is known for its high
quality, hygiene and good taste. Sugar manufacturing process
at our plants takes place under strict quality control
measures and produced sugar is nowhere touched by hands. We
are always among the first to adopt latest equipment and
technology to ensure that our product quality is nothing but
the best. Dwarikesh's sugar is crystal clear and is known to
be sweeter and healthier than many other sugar brands.
When the Dwarikesh Nagar (Bundki) plant was commissioned in
1995, the company's sugar production capacity was just 2500
TCD. It has grown more than 8.5 times by the middle of the
season 2007-2008. The company enjoys the highest yield in
the industry due to efficient cane procurement. During the
last crushing season 2010-2011, its recovery rate was
10.30% in its Dwarikesh Nagar plant, which is highest in the
state of Uttar Pradesh. In Dwarikesh Puram plant the
recovery was 9.47% and in Dwarikesh Dham plant the recovery
was of 8.55% which is considered "good" considering the
drastic downfall in the yield of sugar cane per acre in U P.
Domestic demand for sugar is increasing. Production of sugar
was very low in this season. At present the consumption of
sugar in India is 23 million tonne per annum and is expected
to grow at 5 per cent per annum. Per capita consumption of
sugar in the country remains at 13 kg as compared to the
global consumption of 35 kg. Lower production and increase
in demands augurs well leading to a better price of the
sugar this year. The company finds export of sugar unviable
due to the distance from ports.
THREE
CATEGORIES OF SUGAR
Dwarikesh sugar is categorised in three different categories
based on crystal size: small, medium and large.
We produce sugar of following grades:-
L-31, M-31, S-31, L-30, M-30 and S-30 out of which maximum
production is of 31 colour sugar. (31 is the best colour
standard fixed by the Government of India) Sugar grading is
done for colour and grain size. Sugar produced is regularly
matched with N.S.I. standards Percentage retention of sugar
is currently being maintained at 85%+ as against minimum
requirement of 70% Sugar is used not only as a constituent
in foods produced at home & industrially produced foods, but
also as a raw material in fermentation to produce ethyl
alcohol, butyl alcohol, glycerine & citric acid. Sugar is
also an ingredient in some transparent soaps & it can be
converted to esters which yields tough, insoluble &
infusible resins.
Sale of white crystal sugar is done through a central
government process in which quota of free sale sugar is
allotted to individual sugar mills. For now, sugar mills are
not allowed to sell at one go the part of the production
which they can sell in the open market. This is expected to
change. Sugar mills can sell 90 per cent of their total
production in the open market, compared with 60-70 per cent
earlier. The rest has to be sold to the government at the
levy prices it decides.
