The Mansurpur unit is located on the NH-58 about 10 KM from Muzaffarnagar (U.P.) and is also within close proximity of Northern Railway’s broad gauge line.

Dhampur Group took over the management of Mansurpur unit in 1985 in 50% partnership with the previous owners. In 1998, Dhampur bought over the partner’s shares and took independent control.

Since then, the mill has been upgraded and it’s capacity progressively increased from 1400 TCD to the current 8000 TCD. The small milling tandems were replaced by large milling tandems and converted from manufacturing plantation white sugar to raw and sulphurless refined sugar. The entire engineering and project management was done in-house and in a record time of five months. It now has a 100% back-end refinery following Defco Remelt Phospho Flotation process to produce top quality refined sugar. The command area of the mill has substantial cane and about 70% of the cane is delivered by the farmers directly at the mill gate, which ensures fresh sugarcane and reduced transportation cost.

During the 2009-10 season, the unit was operational for 134 days and crushed 84.10 lac quintals of sugarcane, thereby witnessing a daily increase of 20 % over the previous season.

Mansurpur has planned a cogeneration facility of 28 MW and currently all output is being sold to the grid. This unit was the first to introduce Bagasse Fired Lime Kiln, which was conceived and developed in-house. The quality of the quick lime produced is substantially better than that available locally. The unit provides farmers with Press Mud for use as organic compost.

The farming community of this area is quite progressive and well equipped with farm machinery. The area enjoys 100% irrigation which accounts for excellent yields. Cane Development activities of the Mansurpur unit include demonstrations of various cane development agricultural packages and practices such as

§        Method of cane planting to increase yield in per unit area.

§        Use of micro-nutrients based on soil testing.

§        Use of bio-fertilizer to reduce environment pollution and promote chemical free yields

§        Methods of mechanical control of various pests and diseases of the sugarcane crop

§        Spray campaign to control pest/insect particularly on Ratoon crop

§        Providing insecticides and pesticides of standard companies on subsidized rates

§        Bio-control of different types of pests

Mansurpur sponsors a cultural entertainment program called Lok Rang at District level, every year. From time to time it also organizes Ram Lila, Folk Song, Mushyara, Kavi Sammelans and Plays, to create awareness of Indian history, ethics and care for the environment. Eye Camps and Family Planning Camps are also arranged once a year for staff and the farming community around the factory. The unit has a well equipped gymnasium and facilities for Volley Ball, Kabaddi and Wrestling.
