The Tilaknagar story
Babasaheb Dahanukar’s legacy
Our foundation
Our story begins in the pre-independence era of Indian history. In 1933, our founder Shri. Mahadev L Dahanukar laid the foundation of what was previously known as ‘The Maharashtra Sugar Mills Limited’.
Affectionately and respectfully known as Babasaheb Dahanukar, he was inspired by the noted freedom fighter Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak and as a mark of respect for his guide, Babasaheb renamed ‘The Maharashtra Sugar Mills Limited’ to ‘Tilaknagar Industries Ltd’.
This sugar mill changed the face of the sugar industry in Maharashtra. In a period where there was a lack of technology and savant leadership, Babasaheb inspiringly led the way to prosperity and the economic boom of the sugar and alcohol industries in Maharashtra.
Leadership across generations
The Dahanukar family
Founded in 1993 by the reputed Dahanukar family, Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. has steadily nurtured its passion for growth and giving back to the community.
A journey that started as ‘The Maharashtra Sugar Mills Limited’ (MSM) by the illustrious industrialist and visionary Shri Mahadev L Dahanukar, has come full circle under the leadership of our current chairman and managing director Shri Amit Dahanukar.
With Shri Amit Dahanukar helming the frontiers, we have become producers of the finest brandy in the Indian market and have launched varied brands under our portfolio. With the turn of 2020, we have achieved record sales nationally and have steadily gained popularity in international markets.
