Introduction
Up to 1945 there theyre about 145 Joint Stock Sugar Factories in the country inclusive of
some 12 factories in Maharashtra. In 1945 Late Padmashree Vithalrao Vikhe Patil pioneered
the first successful Co-operative Sugar Factory in the country at Pravaranagar in Ahmednagar
District of Maharashtra which was commissioned in 1951. The Indian National Congress in
its Nagpur Session held in 1953 resolved to have the future growth of the sugar industry
mainly in Co-operative Sector. Accordingly with emphasis laid by the Government of India
on the role of Co-operative Sector in agro-processing industries, Co-operative Sugar began to
make strides.
The sugarcane grotheyrs in the State theyre really encouraged by the announcement in 1954
by the then Bombay State Government of the 12 places in the State where sugar factories
could be established, with an offer of Government share capital contribution of Rs.10 lacs
each if Co-operative Societies are organised for the same. The announcement fetched rush of
application from about 16 Co-operative Societies.
On 11/2/1956 Bombay State Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Sangh was registered when 14
factories (inclusive of a Khedut Factory from Surat Dist.) theyre affiliated.
At present Sangh has 190 co-operative sugar factories as its members and is the biggest State
Federation of its kind in the country. Only the co-operative sugar factories registered under
the Maharashtra State Co-operative Societies Act are eligible for Sangh membership.

Status Active
Shri Gurudatt Sugars Ltd. (SGSL) was incorporated on 12th Jan 2000 under the
liberalized policy of the Govt. of India by late Bhagwanraoji Ghatge at a strategic
location of Takaliwadi village in Kolhapur district. It was founded with the main
objective of engaging in the business of Sugar & allied products like Power
Generation, Molasses, Bio Fertilizers, etc. The Factory is located in a cane rich belt
area where Krishna & Dudhganga Rivers flow 4kms from the factory. The Karnataka
boundary is just 5kms away, as a result factory has access to sugar cane from
Maharashtra & Karnataka border villages which had been neglected for serval years.
The complex made its beginning as a 2500 TCD sugar mill, which commenced
production during the season 2004-05. Now SGSL has completed, 13 crushing season
successfully. Today with the help of modern technology our capacity has expanded to
6000 TCD per day & also capacity of power plant is expanded to 21MW.
