Soil Testing Lab:

Our sugar factory established own soil testing Lab from 2012. The capacity of our soil Testing Lab is 500 water sample testing, 3500 Micro Soil testing and 10000 N.P.K. soil testing in one year.


Expansion of Sugar Plant

In the operational area of the factory about 7000 to 9000 Ha. of the area comes under sugarcane every year. Considering last 20 Year’s average productivity of 69 MT/Ha and last 5 year’s average productivity of 82 MT/Ha, about 6.21 lakh to 7.38 lakh MT cane remains available for crushing every year. There is a scope to improve the sugarcane production also by increasing the cane productivity upto 110 MT/Ha. By implementing micro level cane development programme on wider area.

Due to availability of surplus cane in the area of operation our Management is planning of upgradation of sugar plant from 2500 TCD to 5000 TCD.


Irrigation facilities:

In the area of operation, wells, Private Lift Irrigation Schemes, Co-operative Lift Irrigation Schemes, Krishna river, Urmodi river, Kudali river, Urmodi Dam, Kaneher dam, Dhom Dam and their right and left cannels are the major irrigation sources. Major area of operation come under Kanehar Dam and Urmodi Dam.

Infrastructure facilities

Since sugarcane is grown on large area for past many years, the entire required infrastructure is available in the area of the factory. Adequate road facilities exist in the operation area of the factory. The area of operation is compact, Adequate road transport facilities are available which will help to reduce transport cost as well as getting fresh cane to the sugar mill. Sugar factory is situated on National Highway No.4 near Satara city in 100 hectares of land. Most of the area of sugarcane is covered under bullock cart and tractor cart transport. Hence, sugar mill get fresh cane for crushing along with increasing sugar recovery and reducing cost of transportion.
