Dhampur Sugar Mills

What Dhampur Sugar Mills does

Dhampur Bio Organics Limited (DBO) is an integrated Indian sugarcane processing company that operates two manufacturing facilities in Uttar Pradesh — at Asmoli (Sambhal) and Mansurpur (Muzaffarnagar) — with combined sugarcane crushing capacity of 20,500 tonnes per day, refined sugar capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day, pharmaceutical-grade sugar capacity of 700 tonnes per day, distillery capacity of 312,500 litres per day, and bagasse-based cogeneration capacity of 76.5 MW. Originally founded in 1933 as Dhampur Sugar Mills, the company was carved out via a 2020-2021 demerger and listed independently on NSE (DBOL) and BSE (543593) in September 2022 under its current name.

The company converts sugarcane into a portfolio of seven product streams: refined and specialty sugar (including sulphurless, pharmaceutical-grade ICUMSA <45, desi khand, jaggery, and caster variants), fuel ethanol for India's Ethanol Blending Programme, renewable electricity from bagasse cogeneration, Indian Made Indian Liquor (IMIL) at 8 million cases per year, pharma-grade Extra Neutral Alcohol for breweries, bagasse for biomass and paper applications, and organic fertilizer derived from press mud and spent-wash ash. Consumer-facing sugar is sold under the registered Dhampure brand, while industrial products flow into B2B channels.

DBO's revenue model is anchored by long-term enterprise contracts with oil marketing companies for ethanol offtake, wholesale B2B distribution to FMCG and pharmaceutical buyers including Nestle and CocaCola, and ENA supply to India's top breweries. The company maintains direct farmer engagement across 160,000+ growers and operates a Singapore-based wholly-owned subsidiary (Dhampur International Pte Ltd) for commodities trade and engineering services. The Goel family, led by Chairman & CEO Gautam Goel, retains promoter control following the 2026 succession transition after the passing of Vijay Kumar Goel.
