Business
Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited is an integrated sugar manufacturing company headquartered in Tamil Nadu, India, established in 1961. It operates primarily in the production of sugar from sugarcane and raw sugar with two sugar mills located in Kattur and Sathamangalam villages. The company’s core products include white crystal sugar alongside industrial alcohol derived from molasses, bio-compost from press mud, and co-generation of power facilities. Kothari Sugars also manufactures specialty chemicals such as polyisobutylene (PIB) under various grades including KVIS 10, KVIS 20, KVIS 30, KVIS 100, KVIS 150, KVIS 200, and PIB R-01, serving sectors like lubricants, plastics, paints, and rubber. It has subsidiaries including Kothari Biotech Ltd and Kothari International Trading Ltd. In recent years, Kothari Sugars and Chemicals has focused on operational efficiencies and maintaining its manufacturing capabilities despite fluctuations in financial performance, such as a reported net loss in the September 2025 quarter due to sales decline. The company has also undergone leadership continuity with the re-appointment of its Managing Director in 2025. Additionally, Kothari Petrochemicals Ltd, associated with the group, has been expanding operations with strategic land purchase in Andhra Pradesh to support long-term growth in polyisobutylene production, marking a significant business expansion move. The company’s integrated operations include sugar manufacturing, industrial alcohol production (with capacities up to 60 KLPD for ethanol and alcohol), power co-generation, and bio-compost production. Kothari Sugars leverages modern technology for its plants and maintains a strategic focus on expanding in chemicals and bio-products to diversify beyond traditional sugar milling. It serves a broad customer base within India and has a presence in chemical manufacturing sectors through its diversified product portfolio and strategic alliances in specialty chemical production. Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited’s founding year is 1961, and it is based in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India. The company operates primarily in the Indian market, with established facilities in Tamil Nadu and plans for petrochemical expansion in Andhra Pradesh, reflecting a blend of traditional sugar industry involvement and growth in specialty chemical sectors. Its recent operational focus includes balancing sugar production with petrochemical and industrial chemical production to improve its business resilience and market reach.
