Our Company was incorporated as LT Overseas Private Limited on 16th October 1990 having registered office at 532/4, Naya Bazaar, Delhi. Consequent to conversion to public limited company, the name of the Company was changed to LT Overseas Limited vide fresh Certificate of Incorporation dated 03rd May 1994. We started our operations in the year 1993 using certain processing facilities of Lal Chand Tirath Ram Rice Mills (LCTRRM), an associate concern, on lease. We got our registration as manufacturerexporter in 1993 from APEDA In 1994-95 we filed our draft prospectus with SEBI and Stock Exchanges in Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad. The object of the Issue was to part finance the expansion programme for setting up a milling plant with a capacity of 2 MTPH. We received the observation letter from SEBI but we did not take the matter forward on account of the then prevailing poor conditions in the capital markets. However, we completed the expansion plan through term loan from Banks We set up milling capacity (paddy to rice) of 4 MTPH in the year 1995, at Kakroi Road Sonepat. We have been making investments in plant and machineries and other assets in a bid to upgrade and modernize its production processes to meet the consistent quality requirements of customers. In pursuance of succession agreement dated March 26, 1999, we took over the business of Lal Chand Tirath Ram Rice Mills having milling capacity of 6 MTPH, thus making the total milling capacity available with the Company at 10 MTPH. In the year 1999-2000, we started setting up a new manufacturing facility at Bahalgarh, Haryana. The commercial production commenced in December, 2000. This factory increased our manufacturing capacity by 4 MTPH. However, our total milling capacity remained same i.e. 10 MTPH due to obsolescence of some machineries at Kakroi Road Factory. Between 2002-2005 we increased our capacity to 18 MTPH and in the year 2005, we disposed off our Kakroi Road unit (which had a capacity of 6 MTPH) thereby reducing our available capacity to 12 MTPH at the end of 2005-2006. However with increase in capacity during 2006-07, our current owned capacity stands at 27 MTPH.
