"Nawa City has always been distinguished by its abundant Deposits of Saline Water beneath the Surface, thus providing the purest edible salt"
Since the British Colonial Era Nawa and its nearby town Sambhar hosted many administrative offices and colonies related to salt and revenue right on the Banks of World Famous Sambhar Lake
Our Founding Director Mr. Suresh Beriwal S/o Late Shri Harak CHand Ji Beriwal born in the year 1958, and being born in a business family he started working with his family owned Wholesale Grocery Trade for almost a decade and since the year 1982 after gaining awareness for salt production, he forayed into salt manufacturing.
Post his marriage in 1981, three sons later, and amidst relentless efforts to extract brine water from underground, in 1986, with the help of divine blessings and family support, the first borewell was Dug Deep with help of DTH Machine “DOWN THE HOLE MACHINE” which used compressed air to dig deep into the ground, the very first of its kind in the Nawa Saline Region, resulting in the extraction of brine with high salt content.
Since then, Nawa City has witnessed unprecedented growth, establishing itself as a hub for new salt production units. Due to its convenient geographical location and the growing demand for salt in both edible and industrial markets, the city's salt industry flourished.
Over time, continuous advancements and the establishment of iodization units further enhanced the quality of salt produced, the salt from Nawa City, known for its distinct taste, continued to find its way into markets across the country.
In 2012-2013, with the support of dedicated workers and an innovative approach, we ESTABLISHED PRAGATI SALT (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED, a 180000 MT per annum capacity Salt Refining Unit which was again FIRST OF ITS KIND BEING THE ONLY VERTICAL SALT REFINERY in NORTH INDIA as a whole.
There were already many Salt Refining units successfully running here by then, BUT none of them was able to remove GRIT/STONES from the salt as it was an unavoidable part of the Raw material that we procure (due to natural extraction of Salt from Mud/Grit Beds)
We took it as a challenge and after enormous research and investment we came up with the solution called DESTONNER which was ultimately recognised by HONOURABLE SALT COMMISSIONER, GOVT of INDIA and he gave it a space in his annual magazine.
Nawa's salt, produced with the help of Down the Hole Borwell is unique as it is free from contamination and impurities LIKE MICRO PLASTICS, OIL and OTHER IMPURITIES FOUND IN SEA SALT. The city's salt has become a valuable commodity, maintaining its purity and quality, setting it apart from other varieties."
Later in year 2019 we started manufacturing DFS- Double Fortified Salt which has both Pottassium Iodate (Iodine) and Encapsulated Ferrous Fumerate (Iron), a step to eradicate Iron Deficiency Diseases and later in the year 2020 just before the onset of Covid-19, we forayed into Rock Salt and Black Salt. And we can proudly say that today "BANDHAN ROCK SALT and BANDHAN BLACK SALT" is one of the most revered brand for the same.
