Farmer’s requirements and delivering superior quality products that meet such critical needs has been of paramount importance for Sonalika Group. From a modest start of manufacturing farm equipment, the company has taken a quantum leap to set up a new high tech facility at Amb, Himachal Pradesh, with an investment of Rs 200 crores to roll out advanced quality harvesters.
Sonalika’s new plant at Amb is spread across 29 acres and is designed with multi-stage CED (Cathode Electric Deposition) paint process often seen at car manufacturing facilities. Established with an investment of Rs 18 crores, the CED paint process involves 14-stage treatment process that ensures rust-free and longer period of harvester’s performance.
Parallely, Sonalika has launched the most advanced harvester available in India, the ‘Sonalika Samrat’ at Rs. 25.5 lakhs. The self-propelled harvester is fully equipped with next-gen technologies that not just reduce the tedious labour tasks during the harvesting season but also remains economical, thereby leading to quick savings for farmers. The new combine harvester from Sonalika will maximise crop yield and avoid quality deterioration as well as minimise any crop losses.
Speaking on the occasion, Raman Mittal, Executive Director, Sonalika Group said, It is in Sonalika’s DNA to innovate aggressively while keeping farmers at the core of every new development. Farmers are on a constant lookout for technologies in farming that enhance their productivity and efficiency in an affordable way. Our new plant at Amb, HP has been installed with world class technologies to manufacture high-tech harvesters that significantly increase farmer’s productivity.
