01 · Business model

What does Modi Naturals do?

Modi Naturals Limited operates across three primary business pillars: a Consumer Division focused on branded edible oils and packaged foods, a Bulk Business Division handling rice bran oil and derivatives, and an Ethanol Division driven by grain-based greenfield distilleries.

The Consumer Division houses flagship brands such as Oleev (edible oils and pasta), Olivana Wellness, Rizolo, Miller Canola Oil, and the indulgent snack brand Pipo, leveraging extensive retail distribution across general trade, modern trade, and quick-commerce channels.

The Bulk Division functions as an integrated value-addition unit in rice milling derivatives, producing rice bran oil, de-oiled cakes, and wax with a low-inventory, high-efficiency operating model centered around Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh.

The Ethanol Division, housed under subsidiary Modi Biotech Private Limited in Chhattisgarh, converts broken and surplus food grains into fuel-grade ethanol, benefiting from proximate raw material procurement and captive power cogeneration.
