Shree Renuka Sugars expands horizons with the acquisition of Anamika Sugar Mills

Shree Renuka Sugars Limited, a prominent player in the sugar industry has recently made a significant move to boost its presence in the sugar market by acquiring Anamika Sugar Mills Private Limited. This strategic acquisition, comprising 100% of Anamika’s equity shares, aligns with Shree Renuka Sugars Limited’s expansion plans and marks a significant milestone in their growth trajectory.
