NSL Group came into existence in 1973 through setting up of a small seed company Nuziveedu seeds by the visionary Sri M Venkata Ramaiah.  Over the last 30 years, aided principally by tireless efforts and vision of Sri M Prabhakar Rao (son of Sri M Venkata Ramaiah) who took over the reins from his father in 1982, the company developed strengths in research, and marketing supply chain to become the largest seed company in India, in the process surpassing several multinational giants. The company produces high quality hybrid seeds and cotton seeds supplied by the company are planted in 35-40% of the hybrid cotton area in the country and contribute in producing 40-45% of best quality cotton in India.

The real scope for economic development of the country in terms of impacting larger number of people lies in agriculture and rural development. With this philosophy, combined with the success in seeds business, NSL Group widened its activities and diversified into other agro-based and allied industries by setting up units in Sugar, Textiles industry and cotton businesses in various parts of the country.  Major expansions with  capital outlays of over INR 2000 Crores (approx USD 440 Million) are underway in these units and NSL group is poised to be significant player in the country in these businesses.

Already one of the best wind power companies in India, NSL Group is also planning a major expansion in the renewable power generation business to capitalize on the huge potential in the Indian power sector.

NSL Group is also making giant strides in infrastructure business and has five prestigious SEZ projects under development.

NSL Cotton Corporation, a recent initiative of NSL Group  has been formed with a visionary approach of linking cotton production and global textile industry thereby benefiting close to a million farmers and also facilitating industry to source right quality cotton as per their needs.

Upon completion, the Group turnover is expected to be grow to over INR 10,000 Crores (approx USD 2.2 Billion) in the next 5 years from the existing 900 Crores (approx USD 200 Million).
