Omni Private Ltd., formerly known as Shikarpur Rice Mills, is one of the largest rice mills in Pakistan. Strategically located in the rice-rich district of Shikarpur, Sindh, the mill benefits from its proximity to the major rice-producing areas of Shikarpur, Larkana, and Jacobabad. These districts are the heart of rice cultivation in Pakistan, providing a robust foundation for Omni Private Ltd.’s operations.
#### Evolution and Acquisition
The mill’s transformative journey began with its acquisition from the Privatization Commission in 1995 through an open bid. In June 2000, the Omni Group took over, marking a significant milestone. Under the visionary leadership of Khawaja Abdul Ghani Majid, the Group Chief Executive Officer, and Khawaja Anver Majid, the Founder and Chairman, Omni Private Ltd. embarked on a path of modernization and expansion.
#### State-of-the-Art Multinational Machinery

The plant features a complete husking, polishing, finishing, and processing unit. These sophisticated machines are controlled by fully automatic systems, ensuring precision and quality in every step of the rice milling process. This technological prowess allows Omni Private Ltd. to process both long grain Basmati varieties and medium grain varieties with exceptional efficiency.
#### Unique Storage Solutions
What sets Omni Private Ltd. apart is its advanced storage capabilities. The mill is the only one in Pakistan with humidity and temperature-controlled “Buffer” and “Kennedy” American silos.
