The company is engaged in the business of edible oils and fats. 

 
Eligible oil industry in India is a predominantly retail demand driven industry.

The soya products industry, worth over Rs.800 millions (USS 22.2 million), has been growing at around 10% and includes products like soya milk, nuggets, flour and texturised soya foods and snacks. Several large units have corne up due to their enormous export potential 

 
The Soya Processing Industry continues to have tremendous potential. The Government of Madhya Pradesh is taking special steps to encourage Soya Industry in Madhya Pradesh. Soya processing units will be given facilities provided to industries under the thrust sector. To encourage value addition, units producing proteins and oil from de-oiled cakes will be given special facilities. The inventory holding restriction will be removed.
