domestic customer base that includes Coca-Cola, Heinz, Nestle, PepsiCo, GlaxoSmithKline,
Haldirams, Oberoi, ITC and Taj Group of Hotels, Indian and Kingfisher Airlines, Indian
Railways, Novaratis, Yakult Danone, Sun Pharma, Mother Dairy, Alkem Laboratories,
Marine Biotech and Parnax Laboratories amongst others. The Company also utilizes a
significant proportion of the by-products from the sugar production process to co-generate
power and produce ethanol, alcohol and bio-manure for sale to third parties. During the
eighteen months period ended on Sept, 30 2007, the Company has achieved revenue close
to Rs 10 billion.

Vision
To be an environment friendly, stake holder centric, innovative, professionally managed,
Integrated sugar refining company with low Cost global technologies producing range of
value added products.

The 75th Year of Simbhaoli Sugar Plant…..

Simbhaoli Sugar plant is celebrating its 75th year of commercial operations during the year
2007-08. The plant was started on January 25, 1933 with a moderate capacity of 400 TCD.
Today, it is one of India’s leading producers of high quality refined sugar, alcohol,
ethanol, co-generated power and bio manure.

Change of Name
Keeping in view of the diversified growth model being pursued, the name of the Company
is changed from ‘The Simbhaoli Sugar Mills Limited’ to ‘Simbhaoli Sugars Limited’.
Consequent to change in name, the Corporate Logo is also changed. There is no change in
the general character or nature of business of the Company.

Corporate Information
Since 2006-07 crushing season, Simbhaoli Sugars operates three technologically advanced
sugar manufacturing facilities at Simbhaoli, Brijnathpur and Chilwaria, all located in the
sugarcane-rich state of Uttar Pradesh. The Company’s sugar facilities have a total installed
sugarcane crushing capacity of 20,100 tonnes of cane crushed per day (TCD) and are
capable of manufacturing up to 300,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of sugar. At the
Simbhaoli and Brijnathpur facilities, the Company has adopted a new sugar refining
process called DRPIE (Defeco Remelt Phosphotation and Ion Exchange), that is known
internationally as one of the best sulphur-free purification processes for producing refined
sugar. The sugar produced conforms to European Union standards. The sugar facilities are
highly efficient, with a sugar recovery rate (the amount of sugar produced to sugarcane
consumed) of around 10% (averaged over the last five sugar seasons), which the Company
believes is amongst the highest in the region. The Chilwaria facility is an energy efficient
sugar plant and saves a part of the bagase produced during sugar production for use in co-
generating power.

Sugar: Simbhaoli Sugars has built strong relationships with over 120,000 sugarcane
farmers, which are critical to any sugar company’s success. The Company’s impetus on
sugarcane R&D has been a key driver of its sugar divisions’ operational performance and
relationship with farmers. Research farms at each facility conduct extensive sugarcane
crop analysis for disease and pest resistance. The results, which are fed back to farmers,
have enabled Simbhaoli Sugars to successfully develop a bio-pesticide that enhances the
quality and yield of the sugarcane crop and are distributed to farmers free of charge.
Additionally, the research farms have also led to the development and manufacture of
pharmaceutical-grade and specialty sugar products, such as sugar cubes, brown sugar,
icing sugar, table sugar and sugar sachets, targeting the hospitality and tourism industries.

While sugar is the Company’s main line of business, it has also set up power co-generation,
distillation and bio-manure facilities enabling it to fully capture the inherent value of
sugarcane. This has resulted in the Simbhaoli facility becoming the largest integrated
sugar complexes in India. By utilizing the by-products of the sugar production process
Simbhaoli Sugars has been able to diversify its revenue base and expand into the ethanol,
molasses, alcohol and bio-manure markets.

Co-Generated Power: Bagasse, the fibrous portion of sugarcane, is burned in power

plants onsite to co-generate heat and electricity which can be utilized for captive
consumption by the sugar manufacturing facility as well as for sale to state electricity
boards and other companies. Currently, the Company’s facilities at Simbhaoli and
Chilwaria house co-generation plants that convert approximately 540,000 MTPA of bagasse
into 36.00 MW/hr of electricity, of which 20 MW/hr is sold externally. This surplus will go
up to 30 MW/ hr by the beginning of 2008-09 season.
Distillery: Molasses, a liquid by-product of sugar production, can be used for the
production of alcohol and ethanol. The Simbhaoli facility houses a distillery with a
capacity of 90 kilo-litres per day (KLD), which is capable of producing up 60 KLD of
ethanol, 25 KLD of potable liquor and 20 KLD of extra neutral alcohol (ENA). In addition,
30 MT per day of carbon dioxide is also recovered and sold, providing additional revenues.
The technologically advanced ethanol plant is fully automated and employs the new
generation molecular de-hydration sieve technology. ENA is a raw material used for
manufacturing high quality potable liquor, including whisky, rum, and gin. his potable
liquor is sold in northern India under the Hunters/Simbhaoli XXX (rum), Seven Knights
(Whisky), Seven Knights Lemon flavor dry Gin, Gorki (Premium Vodka) and Ice Blue Tango.
These brands have been developed after extensive research (product and packaging) and
as per the choice and taste of consumers. Under the country liquor category the Company
is creating brand awareness and promotion plan for its ‘Dildar’ brand for the first time in
the state of Uttar Pradesh. The Chilwaria distillery has a capacity to produce 60 KLPD of
Fuel Ethanol with an optionality to produce ENA/ RS of same quality.

Furthermore, biogas, a by-product of the distillation process is converted into steam for
use in power co-generation. Molasses produced in the Brijnathpur facility is currently sold
on the open market and also transferred to Simbhaoli distillery in accordance with the
molasses policy of the Uttar Pradesh State Government.

Bio-Manure: Press-mud, another by-product of sugar production, when combined with

treated effluent (a waste product of the distillation process) is used to manufacture bio-
manure. The Simbhaoli and Chilwaria facilities house bio-manure plants with production
capacity of 34,000 MTPA. Marketed under the SOM (Simbhaoli Organic Manure) brand
name, the bio-manure is sold both to farmers and domestic consumers across northern
India. The Company’s research has shown that the use of SOM increases crop yields.
Further, the Company has diversified into organic manure products such as bio-enzymes,
which are an additional potential revenue source.

Ethanol: The SSL has two Fuel ethanol plants having an aggregate capacity of 120 KLD.
This will further go up to 180 KLD by March 2008 with the commencement of Brijnathpur
Distillery. The technologically advanced ethanol plants are fully automated and employ
the new generation molecular de-hydration sieve process. These plants have the option to
produce ENA with minor modifications, if desired, meeting the international standards.
The Fuel Ethanol is to be supplied to petroleum companies in India.
