The APEDA-registered company that handles everything leaving the country — documentation, inspection, containers and overseas buyers.
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.
Jai Pulses
Tur Dal millingParatwada
One of the original units. Tur arrives here from the Paratwada mandi belt, often on the same day it is sold.
Indu Pulses
Chana Dal millingYavatmal MIDC
Our chana unit, sitting on the edge of the desi chana growing belt. Also the name printed on a lot of bags in the region.
Padam Dall Mill
Tur Dal millingYavatmal
The Yavatmal tur line, running alongside the chana unit so both crops are covered from the same cluster.
Rahul Udyog
Tur Dal millingVidarbha
Additional tur capacity, which is what gives us headroom when arrivals surge and everyone else is full.
How we got here
Four stages, thirty-four years.
- 1992
The first mill
A single dal mill opens in Paratwada, in the middle of the tur belt. The decision to sit inside the growing area rather than near the buyers is the one that everything else follows from.
- 2000s
Two districts, five units
Capacity expands into Yavatmal for chana, and additional tur lines come up. Owning storage alongside the mills becomes the thing that lets us buy on the crop rather than on the order.
- 2010s
Sorting, not just milling
Optical colour sorting and calibrated sizing go in. Buyers stop having to re-negotiate the specification every order, because it is written down and held.
- 2020s
Containers and brands
Indu Lata Pulses takes APEDA registration and the group moves into Gulf, African and North American markets. Our own retail and trade brands go on the shelf alongside the private-label work.
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
1992, in Paratwada, Amravati District. It started as a single dal mill and has grown into five units across two districts.
Five. Indu Lata Pulses Pvt. Ltd. is the export arm with APEDA registration. Jai Pulses in Paratwada and Rahul Udyog mill tur. Indu Pulses in Yavatmal handles chana. Padam Dall Mill in Yavatmal mills 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.
