Sakthi Sugars Limited is one of the largest producers of white crystal sugar in the country accounting for a capacity of 16,500 tons of cane crush per day (TCD).

In coherence with Sakthi Sugars' continued effort to enhance the efficiency of production many initiatives have been put to practice time and again to enrich the quality of production process to unmatched standards. Some such initiatives are listed below,

Scientific farming.
Continuous R&D in sugar rich, pest resistant and high yielding sugarcane varieties.
Mechanization of cane harvesting.
Efficient Sugar manufacturing process to reduce sugar loss.
Ensuring cleanliness and hygiene at their best in factory sites.
Auto Setting Mill facilities.
Energy Saving Schemes like planetary gear boxes, Automated cooling and condensing system, vertical continuous pan, etc.,

Unit I - Sakthinagar

The Sakthinagar Unit, a pioneer that introduced Mechanical Cane Harvester in the country, was established in the year 1964 at Sakthinagar in Erode District, Tamil Nadu with an initial capacity of 1250 TCD, scaling higher in stages, today, the Unit has consolidated its growth with an aggregate capacity of 9000 TCD.

The Unit is strategically placed in terms of its location. It is situated in the most favorable climatic zone of the country that hosts more than 35,000 acres of sugarcane cultivation, well irrigated by Rivers and Canals.

Nonetheless benchmarking its own records and operating all 365 days in an year , the Sakthi Nagar unit has recorded the highest cane crush of 22.35 Lakh M.T during 2006 –07 season. The plant achieved more than 1000 days of continuous cane crushing during 2004-07. With its excellence to repeat its success stories, the Unit has won the National Award for Exemplary Export Performance and has also won National Efficiency Award for many years. The Unit also has the distinct capacity of Raw Sugar Processing to produce high quality sugar using conventional equipments.

Unit II - Sivaganga

It was established in the year 1988 – 89 at Padamathur in Sivaganga District, Tamilnadu. It has an advanced infrastructure equipped with Auto Setting Mills and the technical know-how to process Raw Sugar.

The plant which was begun with a capacity of 2500 TCD has expanded to 4000 TCD. The plant recorded the highest cane crush of 10 Lakh MT in the 2007-08 Season.

The plant features

State-of-the-art automatic syrup clarification and melt clarification systems to produce low ICUMSA colour sugar.
Modern Fluidised Bed Drier for sugar drying and most modern sugar grader.

A pioneer

The Sivaganga Plant is a pioneer in introducing planetary gear Box and in designing silo, a mechanical device for raw sugar handling at Ports and Jumbo Bags of 2 tons capacity.
It showed the industry that the entire sugarcane cultivation can be brought under total mechanization.
The Plant introduced large scale sub surface drip irrigation system for sugarcane crop facilitating mechanized cultivation and harvesting.
It was the first one to install Vertical continuous PAN and to have operated it successfully in India. (The Vertical continuous PAN operates at very low vapor pressure & Temperature)

Some of the measures adopted by the Unit for energy conservation include.

Use of AC Variable frequency drives.
Use of energy saving equipments in process like flash steam recovery, direct contact heaters, vapour line juice heaters, dynamic juice heaters and automated single entry multi jet condensers etc.,

The unit indigenously designs and develops farm implements viz., modified tumkur plough, Disc off Barrer, Roto Incorporator, ridgers for earthing up, Sakthi drip laying machine.

Unit III - Dhenkanal

Unit IV - Modakurichi
