The company operates eight advanced sugar mills, many integrated with ethanol production and power co-generation, and two of India's largest port-based refineries.
Renuka is among India's top ethanol manufacturers, with a capacity of 1,250 KLPD, and is a significant contributor to the country's ethanol blending program. Its flagship brand, Madhur Pure and Hygienic Sugar, is marketed as India's No. 1 packed sugar brand.
