Dalmia Bharat Sugar and Industries Limited has signaled a sharpening of its operational leadership with the appointment of Lokendra Singh Lamba as Unit Head for the Jawaharpur Unit in Uttar Pradesh, effective July 15, 2026. The move, described by the company as a senior management appointment, underlines the group’s continued emphasis on seasoned frontline leadership to drive performance at a key cane-processing site.
Lamba arrives at the Jawaharpur unit with a rich, multi-decade background in the Indian sugar sector. The board notes that he brings extensive senior experience across leading brands in the industry, including roles at Uttam Sugar Mills Ltd., Bajaj Hindustan Sugar Ltd., Rana Sugar Ltd., New Swadeshi Sugar Mills Ltd., and Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd. His track record in cane development and unit-level leadership positions him to helm an important cog in the company’s disciplined expansion in northern India.
The appointment occurs as the company simultaneously advances its broader international growth agenda. Dalmia Bharat Sugar has approved a project to establish a 3,500 TCD sugar manufacturing unit with a 20 MW co-generation facility in Tanzania through Eagle Agrotech Tanzania Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Agrotech Holdings Limited. It has also authorized additional investment in EAHL and the creation of a UAE subsidiary to hold present and future foreign investments, signaling a period of intensified execution across geographies while layering in leadership strength at the unit level in India.
Taken together, the leadership move at Jawaharpur coupled with the strategic international ventures reflects a company intent on blending deep domestic cane expertise with global expansion. Lokendra Singh Lamba’s onboarding as Unit Head is positioned as a pivotal step in delivering operational discipline and growth at the unit level, as Dalmia Bharat Sugar charts a more expansive, global growth trajectory.
