Sri Senthil Murugan Modern Rice Mill

The mill is located at No 168 G N T Road in Redhills. If you are looking for us, we are right next to the Ayyappan Temple. It’s a loud place most of the time because the machinery for the rice is always humming. Sri Senthil Murugan Modern Rice Mill has been here through many seasons. We deal with a lot of paddy coming in from the local farmers around the district. You can smell the grain as soon as you turn off the main road. Sometimes the dust gets everywhere but that is just part of the milling business. We spend the day monitoring the hullers and making sure the polish is right. It is a lot of heavy lifting with the gunny bags and moving things around the floor. On festival days near the temple, the traffic gets a bit much but we manage. The machines are old but we keep them running with regular oiling and repairs ourselves. It’s a family-run type of vibe here and we don't really have a front desk or anything fancy like that. You just walk in and talk to whoever is standing near the scales. We try to keep the quality of the rice consistent but nature plays its part too. Some years the rain is good and the grain is heavy. Other years it is a bit tougher. We just take it as it comes and hope the next batch of paddy is easy to process.
