Our story

Thirty-four years of doing the same thing properly.

We are a family business in Vidarbha that mills pulses. That sentence has not changed since 1992, and most of what is good about us comes from the fact that it has not.

Why here

The mill is in the field, not near the market.

Most dal mills sit close to the buyers. Ours sit close to the crop, in Amravati and Yavatmal districts, in the middle of one of India's largest pigeon pea belts. It is a less convenient place to run a business from and a much better place to mill from.

Grain reaches us within hours of the mandi rather than after a week of being moved and stored by three other people. We can walk the arrivals ourselves before we buy. And when we say we know where a lot came from, we mean we know the market and the day.

It also means we live where our suppliers live. A farmer or a mandi trader who feels badly dealt with does not stay quiet in a district this size, and that is a healthier accountability than any certificate.

  • Same family running it since 1992, now second generation
  • Five owned units — no sub-contracted milling
  • Roughly 65,000 tonnes a year
  • FSSAI, APEDA, IEC and ISO certified

The group

Five companies. One specification.

Each entity does one job properly. You deal with a single trade desk; behind it, the work is split so no line is ever running someone else's overflow.

What we will not do

The short list matters more than the long one.

Substitute quietly

If we are short, you get a call and a choice. You do not get someone else's material in our bag and a hope that you will not notice.

Quote a spec we cannot hold

Winning an order by agreeing to a tolerance we know we will miss costs more than losing it. We will tell you what we can actually do.

Promise a date to close a deal

A despatch date we give you is one we have capacity for. If something slips, you hear it from us early, not from the transporter late.

Company FAQ

About the company

The family's first dal mill, Vijay Dal Mill, started in Paratwada in the 1980s. The group as it stands today dates from 1992, when Padam Dall Mill was set up, and has grown into five units across two districts.

Five. Padam Dall Mill, Rahul Udyog and Indu Lata Pulses Pvt. Ltd. are in Paratwada; Jai Pulses and Indu Pulses are in Yavatmal. Indu Pulses handles chana, kabuli chana and wheat; the others mill tur. Together they run roughly 350 tonnes a day and about 65,000 tonnes a year.

Yes. It has been run by the same family since 1992 and is now in its second generation. That is why the people on the floor have been there a long time, and why a phone call reaches someone who can actually decide something.

Because that is where the tur grows. Vidarbha is one of India's largest pigeon pea belts, and our units sit inside it rather than at the consuming end. Grain reaches us within hours of the mandi instead of after a week in transit, which shows up in how it mills and how it keeps.

About 65,000 tonnes a year across the group — roughly 250 tonnes a day of tur dal milling, 100 tonnes a day of chana dal, and around 200 tonnes a day of oil filtering.

Yes, at both clusters. Owning storage is what lets us buy through the arrival season when the crop is best and hold it, instead of buying whatever is available on the day an order lands.

Come and see the mill.

Buyers who walk the floor tend to become buyers who stay. Two days' notice is enough.
