Established in 1991 and headquartered along the Vadodara-Ahmedabad Expressway in Poicha, LIL is leveraging its expansive state-of-the-art five-acre facility to deliver high-value high performance lactose products. This move not only expands their product portfolio but also aligns seamlessly with the national vision of “Atma Nirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) and “Make in India,” reducing the nation’s dependence on imports for critical pharmaceutical excipients.

In keeping with its commitment to responsible growth, Lactose India’s focus on sustainability drives operational excellence — through optimized energy-efficient processes, reduced emissions, conscious material sourcing, wastewater recycling systems to promote greener practices across its product lifecycle. Every batch reflects LIL’s holistic belief that progress and environmental governance must go hand in hand.

Lactose India, a recognized leader in lactose monohydrate production with an installed capacity of 12,000 metric tons per annum - is set to double following a recent acquisition - is a market leader for its regular grades such as 200 Mesh, 125M, 450M, PHA, DC2050, DC60, 80M, 100M, 325M, and IMP variants in milled and sieved forms. These have served both domestic and overseas markets effectively.

The introduction of specialized segments marks a strategic evolution, targeting niche applications in pharmaceuticals, including excipients, APIs, and formulations - all housed within a single campus featuring dedicated production blocks, warehouses, and quality assurance offices, ensuring world class standards in every batch.
