A legacy of 25+ years in bringing the finest Basmati rice to your table
In 1995, our founder Mr. Sunil Agarwal noticed a gap in the market. While there was plenty of rice available, there was a lack of truly premium Basmati rice that maintained traditional quality while being accessible to everyday households.
Coming from a family with agricultural roots, Mr. Agarwal understood the importance of preserving the natural aroma and texture of Basmati rice. He started Mekal with a simple mission: to bring authentic, high-quality Basmati rice to every Indian home at reasonable prices.
What began as a small family-run mill in Narsinghpur has grown into one of Central India's most trusted rice manufacturers, serving thousands of satisfied customers across the nation.
To produce and deliver the finest quality Basmati rice that enhances every meal while maintaining sustainable and ethical business practices throughout our supply chain. We aim to make premium Basmati rice accessible to every Indian household.
To be recognized as India's most trusted premium Basmati rice brand, known for exceptional quality, innovation in processing, and unwavering customer satisfaction while preserving traditional values.
The name "Mekal" is deeply rooted in Indian culture and geography. It refers to the Mekal Mountain Range in Central India, known for its fertile lands and pure natural resources.
In Hindu scriptures and local folklore, the Mekal region is celebrated for its agricultural abundance. The name symbolizes:
Representing the pristine quality of our rice, untouched and pure like mountain springs
Symbolizing growth, prosperity, and agricultural abundance for farmers and customers alike
Connecting to India's rich agricultural heritage and time-honored farming traditions
Reflecting the premium quality standards that are as solid and enduring as mountains
Just as the Mekal mountains stand strong and pure, our commitment to quality remains unwavering. The name reminds us daily of our roots and our responsibility to maintain the highest standards in every grain we produce.
