We started our operations in the year 1993 using certain processing facilities of Lal Chand Tirath Ram Rice Mills (LCTRRM) an associate concern on lease. We got our registration as manufacturerexporter in 1993 from APEDA

In 1994-95 we filed our draft prospectus with SEBI and Stock Exchanges in Mumbai Delhi Jaipur and Ahmedabad. The object of the Issue was to part finance the expansion programme for setting up a milling plant with a capacity of 2 MTPH.

We received the observation letter from SEBI but we did not take the matter forward on account of the then prevailing poor conditions in the capital markets. However we completed the expansion plan through term loan from Banks

We set up milling capacity (paddy to rice) of 4 MTPH in the year 1995 at Kakroi Road Sonepat. We have been making investments in plant and machineries and other assets in a bid to upgrade and modernize its production processes to meet the consistent quality requirements of customers.

In pursuance of succession agreement dated March 26 1999 we took over the business of Lal Chand Tirath Ram Rice Mills having milling capacity of 6 MTPH thus making the total milling capacity available with the Company at 10 MTPH.

In the year 1999-2000 we started setting up a new manufacturing facility at Bahalgarh Haryana. The commercial production commenced in December 2000. This factory increased our manufacturing capacity by 4 MTPH. However our total milling capacity remained same i.e. 10 MTPH due to obsolescence of somemachineries at Kakroi Road Factory.

Between 2002-2005 we increased our capacity to 18 MTPH and in the year 2005 we disposed off our Kakroi Road unit (which had a capacity of 6 MTPH) thereby reducing our available capacity to 12 MTPH at the end of 2005-2006. However with increase in capacity during 2006-07 our current owned capacity stands at 27 MTPH.
