In 1921, Pollachi was a tiny village, way too modest compared to the bustling town it is today. But it was here, P.Nachimuthu Gounder laid the foundation for Sakthi Group. It was in this year P.Nachimuthu Gounder broke away from his traditional business of hiring bullock carts and pioneered into passenger transport service. From then on, there was no looking back.

He envisaged the path and showed others its means. He founded the Anamallais Bus Transport (ABT), the parent organization of the Sakthi Group in 1931 with 21 buses. It eventually grew into a network covering almost all of South India.

After three decades Sakthi Sugars Limited was established in the year 1961, with commercial production of Sugar commencing in the year 1964 at its Sakthinagar Sugar plant.

Today it has in its fold three Sugar plants in Tamil Nadu located at Sakthinagar, Sivaganga and Modakurichi. With the aggregate capacity of 19,000 Tonnes of cane Crush per Day (TCD), Sakthi Sugars Limited is one of the largest producers of Sugar in the country.

Expanding its industrial presence, Sakthi Sugars Limited diversified into manufacturing of Industrial Alcohol in the year 1972 at Sakthinagar, Tamil Nadu. The distillery plant, undisputedly the largest in their respective states, have an aggregate capacity of 150 KLPD Industrial Alcohol.

Soya Products is another range of products manufactured by Sakthi Sugars Limited. It has an advanced Soya processing unit with refinery complex near Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. It handles a capacity of 90,000 Metric tonnes (MT) of soybeans per annum.

The company has also installed three Co-generation Power plants at its sugar factories in Tamil Nadu. The combined capacity of power production of these plants is 92 Mega Watt. After meeting the power requirements of the sugar plants the excess power generated is exported to the power grid.

Sakthi Sugars Limited is one of the important members of the Sakthi Group contributing a large share of revenue to the group's turnover. In its pursuit for business excellence, the Sakthi Group, ever since its inception has been staunchly inclined towards fulfilling its social commitments. As a dutiful corporate, Sakthi Group has set up many educational and charitable institutions, hospitals and religious centers. It has also made significant contribution to rural development through a number of social welfare activities and initiatives. It has created ample employment opportunities for rural youth through its multi-fold agro-based institutions and other industries.

It's a strong belief among us that growth and development must reach all sections of the society and businesses have a responsible role in making this a reality.
