Our Story

“Still waters run deep” is a very well-known saying that reflects perfectly on the Shri Mithilesh Kumar Agarwal. With a rich history that spans over three centuries, the ancestral roots of the Galwalias, an iconic business family, goes back to the state of Uttarakhand.

Taking the legacy of the acclaimed family forward, Late Shri Mithilesh Kumar Agarwal started out on the manufacturing journey in the year 1954, when India, still a fledgling country, was trying to make an impact on the world stage. But just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither are legacies. However, it does begin with a single-minded thought. For SPNG Group, that thought was ‘roti, kapda aur makaan’, an endeavour to ameliorate the conditions for everyone in the vicinity, giving them a chance at a better, more fulfilling life.

The legacy of the SPNG Groups began with Kattha, followed by a rice mill that began operations in 1969 and extended to sugar manufacturing in 1973. Then, as Shri Yogesh Kumaar Jindal took over his father’s endevaour, a new era was ushered in. Blessed with an innovative mind and foresight, he added a solvent extraction plant, vegetable oil refinery, steel industry, spinning mill, and casting and moulding industry to the burgeoning spectrum of businesses.
As the wheel of time moved forward, in 2005, for his immeasurable contribution to the development of industry in the state of Uttarakhand, Late Shri Mithilesh Kumar Agarwal was awarded the coveted UDYOG RATNA by the Government of Uttarakhand. Year after year, decade after decade, the SPNG Group has evolved, adapted and grown to stay relevant, being the torchbearers of change. Today, group stands as a behemoth, working relentlessly towards climate change and environmental preservation.

Our Mentors

There are some people in the world who have their name written in the pages of history, to be remembered long after they are gone. These are legends to impact the world in a manner that few can. Such were the trailblazers who laid the foundation of the SPNG Group in the pious land of Uttarakhand, Shri Pyare Lal Ji Galwalia and Shri Nand Kishore Ji Galwalia, two brothers who set out with determination, fuelled by ideas. They are the ones who the group has been named in the honour of. This legacy of commitment, foresight and innovation was taken forward by the next generations, ushering the SPNG Group into a new era, tuned-in to the need of the hour.
It began with the vision of Late Shri Mithilesh Kumar Agarwal in 1954, when he transformed the traditional family-owned business into a corporate force to reckon with. He infused new energy into the business with his new-age ideas and turned it into a behemoth with a forward-looking strategy and a larger objective of improving living standards and preventing migration emerging out of lack of opportunities. The philosophy that drove him was ‘think of other before self and do for others’. With a clear goal, he set up the first manufacturing plant in the region to produce ‘kattha’ and rice. His irrefutable and incomparable contribution to industry led to him being awarded with the prestigious and coveted Udyog Ratna in 2005 by the Government of Uttarakhand.
The torch was passed to Shri Yogesh Kumaar Jindal who not only took his father’s dream forward, but also improved upon it by advancing the manufacturing capabilities, putting the SPNG Group on the world map. His vision and ambition were critical to the surging success of the company. He was the architect behind northern India’s first solvent plant, built to extract soybean oil from soy seeds. The advancement of machinery and equipment also saw the installation of the region’s first steel, textile and steel-casting units at Kashipur. Just like his father has always been inspired by a guiding philosophy, Shri Yogesh Kumaar Jindal has followed the philosophy of ‘if you want to be a leader, do what other cannot even think of’. With the single-minded thought of making lives better and taking the living standard higher, the SPNG Group, with the guidance of visionary mentors, has been pushing the envelope of possibilities further, consistently and constantly.

Chairman Speaks

“Take up the idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.”
-Swami Vivekananda
The revered Swami Vivekananda achieved in his short life that most cannot achieve in a lifetime. From working for the amelioration of the society at large, to representing India on the world stage, he has made an indelible mark on the pages of history. A major reason for that was his unwavering focus and unmatched dedication to achieve his goals. He turned a single idea into the very reason for his existence, weaving his entire life around it. That is what has always inspired us.
As you peruse this page, I extend a welcome to the SPNG Group and cherish the time you have spent on this platform. For several decades, we have put our heart and soul into the steel, textile and agricultural-products industries, consistently aspiring to soar higher, establish paradigms, challenge conventions and work towards the prosperity of every life we have touched across India and the world at large.
It is our employees, customers, vendors and business associates who have been instrumental in bringing us to this level of perfection and it is their belief that is the cornerstone of our success, emerging from the trust and faith they have placed in us.
For us, a business is far more than economics. It is our commitment to give back to nature and to the society as a token of gratitude to the marvellous opportunities we have had so far. It is our endeavour to challenge ourselves every day to be a better version of ourselves and bring the world something new. Something sustainable.
