India · Listed on the NSE and BSE
Dhampur Sugar Mills is an Indian sugarcane processor established in 1933. After a demerger, its sugar operations consist of two units, Dhampur and Rajpura, both located in Western Uttar Pradesh, while Dhampur Bio Organics became a separate company. Dhampur Sugar Mills' shares are listed on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange. The company combines sugar production with distilling, chemicals and power generation.
Cane from local farmers is crushed at the two mills and processed into white, raw and packaged sugar. The by-products are put to work: molasses feeds the distillery, which makes ethanol and the chemical ethyl acetate, and bagasse, the fibre left after crushing, fuels power generation. Packaged sugar is sold under brands including Mishti. Buyers of sugar, alcohol and chemicals deal with the legal entity and facility that make the product they need.
Size of the business
In FY2024/25 Dhampur Sugar Mills had cane crushing capacity of 24,000 tonnes per day, 15,000 at Dhampur and 9,000 at Rajpura, and distillery capacity of 350 kilolitres per day on a molasses feedstock basis. These are plant capacities, not annual production.

Does 24,000 tonnes per day refer to finished sugar?
