We, SKF Elixer India Private Limited have established us as a leader in high-end Paddy Processing technology, manufacturing high-quality Commercial Purifiers and have redefined wastewater management system with our Wastewater Treatment Plants.

Over the past 30 years, we at SKF Elixer India Pvt. Ltd., have been enriching the lives of people by providing innovative solutions that ensure nutritious grains, purest water, and a safer environment to lead a healthy life. Established in 1987 by Dr. G. Ramakrishna Achar, we are now the global leaders in designing and manufacturing the best-in-class paddy processing plants, water purifiers, and wastewater treatment plants.

It all began with manufacturing Rice Cookers in Bannadka (a remote village near Moodabidri, Mangalore), under a rented shed and a meagre capital of Rs. 25,000. Thanks to Dr. Achar’s vision and entrepreneurship, the Company now headquartered in Jain Kashi, Moodabidri has grown exponentially and has a full-fledged state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The infrastructure includes high-end CNC Laser Cutting Machines, sophisticated Bending and MIG Welding Machines, Lathes, and a dedicated engineering/technical team serving customers across the globe. In currency terms, this translates to an annual turnover of Rs. 2000 million and infrastructure worth Rs. 500 million.

S.K.F. is the first company in India to introduce stainless steel Paddy Processing plants. These sophisticated plants are fully equipped to process any kind of paddy in the world and generate the most exquisite and finest of rice grains. We are proud to have the distinction of designing and manufacturing for the first time in India, a 1000 ton/day capacity Paddy Boiler-cum-Drier plant. And along the journey, we have successfully completed in excess of 5000 installations all over India and Abroad. We are now universally acknowledged by both millers and experts as the Global Leader in Paddy Processing Technology.

Riding on the immense success of grain processing plants, Dr. Achar decided to foray into the water purification sector. Backed by extensive research, Elixer brand of mineral water solutions was launched.
We soon became the only Company in India to provide affordable water purification solutions that covered the entire spectrum of consumer profiles be it Commercial or Residential. We are committed to our motto “One Rupee for One Liter” of pure drinking water. With high level of research capabilities in the water purification area, it was natural for us to venture into the STP-ETP solutioning space. Other compelling factors included the enormous wastage of water in mills, increased sewage/effluents from rapid urbanization and a strong urge to protect our environment.

With an initial capital of Rs. 25,000, the company now boasts an annual turnover of Rs. 2,000 million (Rs. 200 Crores) and infrastructure valued at Rs. 500 million (Rs. 50 Crores).
Our headquarters remain in Jain Kashi of Moodabidri, where we operate a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility equipped with:

• High-end CNC Laser Cutting Machines
• Advanced Bending and MIG Welding Machines
• Precision Lathes
• A dedicated engineering and technical team
