The Erode sugar mill was set up with 1250 TCD capacity
in 1984 in a record time of 12 months. It achieved full
capacity crushing during the very first year of its
commercial operation that enabled declaration of a maiden
dividend of 10% in that very first year, a record in
the annals of sugar industry. It was a trendsetter
in mobilising surplus cane during its infancy stage
from neighbouring sugar mills and extending crushing
season to well above industry average. Its capacity
was expanded to 2500 TCD in 1994.
The Erode sugar mill has successfully implemented an
innovative Lift Irrigation Scheme by bringing in dry
lands under cane cultivation, utilizing the effluent
discharge of the neighbouring paper mill. This has helped
secure multitudinal benefits – providing a dependable
and perennial source of irrigation to farmers in the
neighbourhood, increase of land value manifold in the
region, transforming the livelihood of local rural population,
resolving the raw material needs of sugar and paper
mills and addressing ecological concerns in effluent
dischar
Right at its inception, Ponni was structured on the
concept of total diversion of bagasse for paper. Accordingly
it installed a coal fired boiler and later added a multi

It has a bagasse tie up arrangement with Seshasayee
Paper and Boards Ltd for a mutually beneficial and rewarding
long term relationship.
Ponni is an efficient and quality producer of sugar,
catering to both domestic and international markets.
It is a venerable partner for villagers growing sugarcane
in its neighbourhood. It enjoys cordial relationship
with employees. It firmly believes in transparent and
fair dealings with all its stakeholders by following
