The Lohat Sugar Factory, Lohat, Madhubani District, Bihar, was incorporated in 1914 as the Darbahanga Sugar Co Ltd under the ownership of the Maharaja of Darbhanga Railway[1].
An agreement dated 1917 with the Bengal and North-Western Railway(B&NWR) confirmed a 5 kilometre metre gauge(MG) siding between Pandual station and the sugar factory [1].
The factory also had a hand worked 2ft/610mm narrow gauge(NG) tramway field system that was lifted c.1976 [1].
