Rajshree Sugars & Chemicals Limited (RSCL) is a public limited company listed on National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The company has interests across integrated fields such as Sugar, Distillery, Power and Biotechnology. RSCL with its Corporate Office in Coimbatore has two modern integrated sugar complexes located at Varadaraj Nagar, Theni District and Mundiampakkam, Villupuram District of Tamil Nadu with easy access to both Tuticorin and Chennai ports. The plants have a capacity to mill over 6000 TCD (tons crushed per day) presently being enhanced to 7500 TCD. With their strategic locations in the tropical latitudes the factories have the benefit of longer harvest periods, enabling them to handle nearly 2 million tons of sugarcane in a sugar season producing 200,000 tons of sugar. The average sugar recovery is 10.32 % and the average sugar cane yield per hectare is 86 tons as against the national average of 59 tons. The Distillery unit has a capacity of 45 KLPD (Kilo liters per day) enabling production of 12 million liters of alcohol per year. The plant can produce Rectified Spirit, Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) and fuel grade Anhydrous Alcohol (AA). The bagasse-based cogeneration plants generate 34 MW of "green power" and after captive consumption supplies surplus power of 18 MW to the state electricity grid. This translates to an annual generation of 179 GWh power with sale of 115 GWh to the state electricity grid. RSCL supports sustainable agriculture by promoting the use of a wide array of organic and bio-inputs for sustainable farming. Realizing the importance of biotechnology, RSCL is engaged in a host of technology development activities such as sugarcane varietal development through plant tissue culture and production of eco-friendly bio-inputs like biofertilisers, biofungicides, biopesticides, biocontrol agents and pheromones.
