Est. 1992 · Paratwada & Yavatmal, Vidarbha
Vidarbha is where India's tur actually comes from. Our family has been cleaning, splitting and sorting it here since 1992 — five mills, around 350 tonnes a day, and largely the same people walking the floor who have walked it for twenty years.
Who you are dealing with
Buy the right lot. Clean it properly. Split it without breaking it. Send it out on the day you said you would. That is the entire job.
Most of what goes wrong in this trade goes wrong because somebody skipped one of those four things to save a rupee, and the buyer found out two weeks later at the other end of the delivery. We have been on the receiving end of that ourselves, early on, and it is not a lesson you forget.
So we buy through the arrival season when the crop is at its best rather than scrambling when an order lands. We own the storage that lets us do it. We run our own mills instead of farming the work out to whoever has spare capacity. And when something is not right, you get a call from us before you get a surprise.
Our brands
A brand is only worth something if the thing inside it does not change. Ours come off the same lines, run by the same people, checked the same way. What changes between them is who they are packed for.
Our retail brand · packs for Indian kitchens
Swastik is the pack that goes into a home kitchen, so it gets the fussiest treatment we give any lot. Unpolished, uncoated, and sorted hard enough that a cook does not have to pick through it. The grain is what it looks like on the front of the bag — nothing added to make it shine.
Bulk trade packs for wholesale and institutions
Chetak is the name our wholesale buyers know. It is built for movement — sturdy stitching, honest weight, and the same milling standard that goes into the retail packs. Distributors, mandi traders and institutional kitchens buy this one by the truckload.
Chana Dal, milled at Yavatmal
JP is our chana line out of the Yavatmal unit, where the desi chana belt sits on our doorstep. Bold, evenly split dal with the husk properly removed and the fines screened out. Stocked mainly by regional distributors and catering supply.
The Yavatmal house mark
Indu Pulses is the mark on our Yavatmal output — the name printed on the bag alongside the licence, the pack date and the weight declaration. Buyers who have dealt with the Yavatmal unit for years still order by this name.
Swastik · Retail packs
Toor dal, chana dal, kala chana and kabuli chana, milled on the same floor as our bulk trade and sorted tighter, because a home cook sees every grain. Unpolished, uncoated, in 500 g, 1 kg and 2 kg stand-up pouches.

Pulses are the core of it. Cereals and cottonseed came later, because the same trucks and the same buyers were already going that way.

See specificationWhy buyers stay
Anyone can source a truckload of dal once. Getting the same thing again, six months later, is a different business entirely.
There is no broker layer between you and the machine. When you ask why a lot looks the way it does, the person answering was standing next to it. And nothing gets quietly substituted from another mill when we are short, because we do not do that.
We write down the specification we agreed with you before the first lot runs, keep a retained sample, and check every lot after that against it. That is the entire reason to buy from a miller instead of from whoever has stock this week.
Three hundred and fifty tonnes a day and our own storage means there is headroom when arrivals surge and every mill in the district is full. Your despatch date does not slip because somebody else's order ran long.
Our quality and packing are built to export standard, and we hold APEDA registration and an Importer Exporter Code. When you want to take our dal to an overseas market, the groundwork is already done.
A family business is small enough that a message reaches a person who can decide something. You will not be handed between four departments to find out when your truck is leaving.
Our units sit inside the tur and chana belt, not at the consuming end of it. Grain reaches us within hours of the mandi rather than after a week in transit, and that difference shows up in how it mills and how it keeps.

Straight answers
If yours is not here, message us and we will answer it properly.
We are a pulse milling group in Vidarbha, Maharashtra. We buy tur, chana, kabuli chana, wheat and maize from the mandis around our units, clean and mill it in our own five factories, and sell it as bulk sacks, branded retail packs or private-label packing. We also crush and filter cottonseed. We have been doing this since 1992.
A manufacturer. We own and run five processing units across Amravati and Yavatmal districts with a combined capacity of roughly 350 tonnes a day of milling and 200 tonnes a day of oil filtering. Nothing is sub-contracted to another mill, which is the reason our second lot matches our first.
For domestic trade, one full truck. For export enquiries, a 20-foot container is the usual starting point. We take smaller trial quantities on a first order, because we would rather you test us on a small lot than take a large one on faith.
Yes, and a large part of what we do is exactly that. Send us your artwork and we will pack it in your printed HDPE, BOPP or laminated packs in sizes from 500 grams to 50 kilos. We also run four brands of our own if you would rather stock something ready.
Yes, under one brand: Swastik. Toor Dal, Chana Dal, Kala Chana and Kabuli Chana in 500 g, 1 kg and 2 kg pouches, unpolished and uncoated. Grocery stores, distributors and modern-trade buyers can stock it. Tell us your territory and expected monthly offtake and we will work out terms.
Not yet. Today we supply buyers across India. But our quality and packing are export-ready, and we hold APEDA registration and an Importer Exporter Code, so if you are buying for an overseas market the groundwork is already done. Talk to us.
FSSAI licences on our food units, APEDA registration for agricultural export, an Importer Exporter Code, and ISO certification. For export orders, phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin and third-party inspection can be arranged per shipment as the destination requires.
You tell us what you are packing into and where it is going, and we set the cleaning, sorting and moisture to suit. A retail pouch sitting under shop lights needs a tighter colour tolerance than a catering sack. We write the agreed specification down before the first lot runs, and every lot after that is checked against it.
Yes. We courier sealed samples drawn from the actual lot, with the analysis for that lot attached. For export buyers we can also arrange third-party inspection at loading.
Domestic loads generally move within two to four working days of confirmation. Export orders depend on documentation and vessel schedule. During peak arrival season we hold enough capacity and storage that your date does not slip because someone else's order ran long.
Our head office is at Jai-Vijay Office, Opposite Bhansali School, Kandli Road, Paratwada 444805, Amravati District, Maharashtra. Our second cluster of units is in Yavatmal District. Both sit inside the tur and chana growing belt, which is the whole point.
