‘RENTIO Toor Dal’ has been a household name for 90 years. RENTIO began its journey during the nineteen-thirties with a motto – ‘We believe in the Best’, it has since been the king of the Toor dal industry.

‘RENTIO’ is a Gujarati word that means ‘spinning wheel’ or ‘charkha’.

The story behind the name Rentio is deeply rooted in India’s spirit of freedom and self-reliance. The Chokhawala family was actively involved in Mahatma Gandhi’s freedom movement, where spinning yarn on the charkha (spinning wheel) was a cherished daily ritual — a symbol of dedication to Swadeshi values.

When Shree Mangaldas Chokhawala set out to establish a Toor Dal manufacturing plant in Navapur, Maharashtra, the family sought a name that reflected their heritage and ideals. It was a unanimous decision to call the brand ‘Rentio’, meaning spinning wheel operator — a tribute to the family’s Gandhian roots and their belief in purity, honesty, and self-sustained growth.

Rentio Foods was born from the vision of Shree Mangaldas Chokhawala, who believed in offering Toor Dal made exclusively from Desi Toor, processed using a unique Dry Process that preserves its natural purity and flavor. His legacy was carried forward by Mr. Vipinchandra Chokhawala, who recognized the widespread adulteration in loose pulses sold across the market. Determined to bring trust and transparency to Indian households, he introduced Rentio’s packed Toor Dal in 1982 — available in 1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg, and 10 kg packs.

Rentio Foods became India’s first pioneer brand to introduce fixed-weight packaging in the commodity market — a revolutionary step that not only built customer trust but also empowered retailers to confidently sell authentic, quality products.

Over the decades, Rentio has continued to uphold this commitment to purity. By adopting the world’s best technology and ensuring gentle, chemical-free processing, Rentio Foods delivers Toor Dal that retains maximum nutrition, natural aroma, and authentic taste — just as nature intended.
