Modi Sugar Mills, an ISO 9001:2000 Company.

The foundation of the Modi Empire was laid by Rai Bahadur Gujar Mal Modi in 1932 with the opening of Modi Sugar Mills at Modi Nagar. Located in the heart of the sugarcane belt of western Uttar Pradesh, Modi Sugar Mills had an initial capacity of 500 tonne of cane crushing per day (TCD) to manufacture “Plantation White Sugar” or crystal sugar, as is popularly known. The capacity of this mill stands at 5000 TCD at present.

In 2001, a 30 tonne-per-day (TPD) state-of-the-art sugar refinery was commissioned to manufacture premium quality, pharma grade refined sugar conforming to Indian and British Pharmacopoeia standards. The refinery capacity has further been enhanced to 200 TPD to cater to the quality conscious institutional and retail markets. The company has also established a plant to produce 'Refined Candy Sugar', the only company in India to do so.

Moving ahead, Modi Sugar Mills has started producing a wide array of new and innovative specialty sugar products. The product basket includes Low Calorie Sugar Sweetener, Coffee Sugar, Quick Dissolve Sugar, Pharmaceutical Grade Sugar, Candy Sugar, Sugar Cubes, Icing Sugar, Flavoured Sugar for Tea and Flavoured Sugar for Milk.

Renowned as one of the most efficient sugar plants in Northern India, Modi Sugar Mills has achieved the prestigious ISO 9000:2001 certification. The plant has been completely modernized and automated, producing 90,000 tonnes of plantation white sugar. Modi Sugar Mills is the first company in India to have drug license to manufacture sugar as per the IP standards.

SBEC Sugar Limited:
Building upon past experience and incorporating the most modern technology, led to the formation of another plant named as, SBEC Sugar Ltd. (SBEC) in 1998. Located at Baraut in Uttar Pradesh, SBEC is promoted by Umesh Modi Group and SBEC Systems Ltd., UK.

SBEC has access to cutting-edge technology in sugar manufacturing while the promoter company SBEC System Ltd. is a global player in project design, engineering and consultancy.

In 1999, the plant at SBEC commenced commercial production with an initial capacity of 3500 tonne of cane crushing per day (TCD). Designed for a daily production of 10,000 TCD, this state-of-the-art plant now produces 8000 TCD of “Plantation White Sugar”. Recognised as one of the most hi-tech plants in the country, the annual production of SBEC amounts to a whopping 1,40,000 tonne.

To utilise the bagasse produced by SBEC during sugar production, a 12 MW co-generation power plant has been commissioned by its sister concern SI-AL-SBEC Bioenergy Pvt. Ltd. (SIAL). Both the companies are interdependent as bagasse generated by SBEC is supplied to SIAL which, in return, generates power and steam. As power shortage at SBEC amounts to only 2 MW, the surplus 10 MW is supplied to the UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited) grid.

The plant features technologically intensive effluent treatment and disposal system, conforming to the most stringent environmental norms.
