Tulsi
Refined rice bran oil for the household kitchen.

Tulsi & Sehat · Rice bran cooking oil
Cooking oil, made where the rice grows.
Tulsi and Sehat are 100% rice bran oil, carrying the oryzanol and vitamin E the bran holds naturally. Extracted, refined and bottled in our own plants inside the Vidarbha rice belt — built to take 850 tonnes of bran a day.
A silent film of the Ramdevbaba Solvent plants, with all of its wording on screen. It opens on the company mark, then the brand marks for Tulsi and Sehat and the four packs on a table — jerrycans and tins. Beakers set side by side, labelled “refined rice bran oil”, beside rice fatty acids, rice bran wax, lecithin and dark crude oil. The gate at Bramhapuri, Unit I: “established in 2008”. Aerial passes over the plants, captioned “3 solvent extraction plants”, “150 KLPD grain ethanol” over a site under construction, and a megawatt of rooftop solar at each of Bramhapuri and Nagpur. Warehouses banked with sacks of bran; Tulsi cartons taped, stacked and loaded; tankers in the yard and pulling out. Crude oil storage tanks. Bran graded by hand, then the laboratory. Inside the refinery, oil turning over behind a sight glass, captioned “refining the extracted crude rice bran oil, capacity 48,000 MTPA” — dark crude, then amber, then clear gold. The filling line running gold into bottles and labelling them Sehat. Then a timeline: 2009, first rice bran extraction plant, 250 TPD at Bramhapuri; 2013, first rice bran crude oil refinery, 50 TPD at Bramhapuri; 2017, that refinery raised from 50 to 100 TPD; 2018, second extraction plant, 300 TPD at Nagpur; 2021, a 1 MW solar plant at each of Bramhapuri and Nagpur; 2022, third extraction plant, 300 TPD at Bramhapuri; 2023, second crude oil refinery, 100 TPD at Nagpur. It closes on group portraits of the people who run the plants, and a last aerial at dusk under the company mark.

On the shelf
Two labels, one oil.
Both are the same physically refined rice bran oil from our own refineries. Its smoke point is about 232 °C, which suits deep-frying and tempering, and it carries oryzanol, which rice bran has naturally. Tulsi is the household pack. Sehat is the value pack, also sold in the 15 kg tin.

Recognition
Graded by the trade, audited by the standards.
A kitchen cannot inspect a refinery, so these stand in for it. The certifications are audits of the plant that makes the oil. The awards and the bulk clients below them are about the business rather than the bottle — they are here because who else buys from a refinery is a fair thing to know about it.

How it is made
Every stage of a rice bran refinery is read as a colour.
Crude rice bran oil arrives dark, waxy and turbid. It leaves clear and pale gold. In between sit five operations — degumming, neutralisation, bleaching, winterisation, deodorisation — and each one is graded on a Lovibond tintometer against a fixed red and yellow scale. Move along the rack to read the plant.
The plants
Two units, ninety kilometres apart, on the paddy belt.
Rice bran spoils fast, so the plant has to sit inside the rice belt rather than near the port. Both units are in eastern Maharashtra, within collection distance of the mills that produce the bran, and both run on captive solar for a share of their load.
