In addition to sugar production, this unit also has facilities for co-generation of power, distillery and bio-compost. This unit was established in 1961 and is one of the earliest sugar factories to be set up in the state of Tamil Nadu. To strengthen our business model and values, a Co-generation Unit was commissioned in 1996 and a Distillery plant to process Rectified & Extra Neutral Alcohol was commissioned in 1993.
When the ethanol policy was implemented by the Government of India, an Anhydrous Alcohol plant was installed in 2003.

In the Distillery Unit, as part of the effluent treatment system, Bio-Compost is manufactured as a value added product with press-mud and distillery effluent.Cane for this factory is being supplied from Lalgudi, Manachanallur and part of Manapparai, Thuraiyur and Musiri Taluks.
