Olam acquires Hemarus Industries for almost $74m

The company also plans to invest an additional $6.6 million to expand sugar milling capacity.

Meanwhile Olam said the purchase consideration is towards the acquisition of the following:
• A new (recently commissioned) sugar milling facility of 3,500 TCD capacity, located in the most preferred sugar growing region of India (Kohlapur district of Maharashtra State).
• 20MW co-generation plant capable of handling coal feedstock.
• Additional licences to build a 45 Kilo litre per day (KLPD) ethanol facility and a 3500 TCD Sugar mill in Belgaum district (with 20MW co-generation facility).
• 210 acres of land which would be sufficient for sugar mill capacity augmentation, setting up of an ethanol facility and the bio compost plant.

At steady state, Hemarus Industries Limited is expected to contribute revenues of $90 to 100 million with an expected Return on Equity of 32%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
