Company Overview

Rajshree Sugars & Chemicals Limited, incorporated on December 13, 1985, was promoted by the late G Varadraj of the Coimbatore-based P S G family. The company is primarily engaged in the sugar, distillery, and power businesses, operating through three main segments: Sugar, Cogeneration, and Distillery. It has established itself as an integrated biorefinery enterprise, efficiently utilizing sugarcane and its by-products to create diversified revenue streams.

The company operates three integrated biorefinery complexes based on sugarcane, strategically located in Tamil Nadu: Varadaraj Nagar in Theni district, Mundiyampakkam in Villupuram district, and Gingee in Villupuram district. This positioning allows the company to leverage the state's robust sugarcane cultivation base and benefit from favorable agricultural conditions.
