- Davangere Sugar Company Limited (DAVANGERE.NS) manufactures and sells sugar, molasses, bagasse, and co-products such as press mud and industrial alcohol. The company operates distilleries producing rectified spirit, extra neutral alcohol, and Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) under brands including Woodpecker Whisky, Three Star Whisky, and Leon Vodka; it also generates and sells power from bagasse-based cogeneration plants. Headquartered in Harihar, Karnataka, India, and founded in 1971, Davangere Sugar Company Limited serves domestic markets in the sugar, alcohol, and power sectors primarily within India.
The company's operations encompass integrated sugar mills, distilleries, and cogeneration facilities located in Davangere, Karnataka. Its product portfolio includes white crystal sugar in various grades; liquid distillates like ethanol for industrial and fuel use; and organic manure derived from press mud. Davangere Sugar targets industrial buyers, distilleries, government ethanol programs, and regional power grids.
In recent developments, the company expanded its distillery capacity with the commissioning of a 45 kilo liters per day grain-based facility in fiscal 2024, enhancing ethanol production for the national biofuel blending program. It reported improved financial performance in fiscal 2025, driven by higher sugar realizations and ethanol off-take under government policies. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or name changes have been noted in the last two years.
