The Erode sugar mill was set up with 1250 TCD capacity in 1984 in a
record time of 12 months. It achieved full capacity crushing during the
very first year of its commercial operation that enabled declaration of a
maiden dividend of 10% in that very first year, a record in the annals of
sugar industry. It was a trendsetter in mobilising surplus cane during its
infancy stage from neighbouring sugar mills and extending crushing
season to well above industry average. Its capacity was expanded to
