Our History

Binani Industries Limited (BIL) is all set for growth. From the time of its inception, BIL has been an ambitious organisation and this attribute has helped it grow at a fast pace.


The Braj Binani Group traces its beginning to 1872, when Seth Pragdas Binani, a trader in metal utensils, began an enterprise with his son Seth Mathuradas to engage in the import and export of metals. The enterprise continued to grow from strength to strength. The year 1941 marked an important phase in the evolution when Seth Mathuradas' son Seth Govardhandas made a bold, but significant, move from trading to manufacturing.

Binani Metal Works got rolling with a plant at Howrah. Taking on the mantle from his father, it was during the reign of son Ghanshyam Binani, that Binani Zinc was born. Leading from the front, the Company shifted its focus towards R&D thus modernising and expanding its capacity. But it was with the advent of Mr. Braj Binani and his dynamic leadership that the Company truly began to prosper and exploring uncharted horizons.

Following the restructuring of the Braj Binani Group, from 1996-2004,Binani Industries Limited (BIL) was founded to serve as the holding Company for Binani Cement Limited, Binani Zinc Limited, Goa Glass Fibre Limited & BT Composites Limited. Today, the Braj Binani Group is a multidimensional business conglomerate, with an asset value of Rs. 1968 crores, a turnover of Rs. 2302 crores and a 1750-strong work force. And with a clear focus to adapt and execute the best, the Braj Binani Group has not only attained major internationally accepted certifications for its various ventures, but also has extended its reach well beyond Indian borders - to UAE, China and is in the process of expanding into Africa and other countries.

BIL owes most of its success to its simple yet potent philosophy - honesty, transparency, efficiency and its unflinching commitment to the customers, coupled with an inherent determination to succeed. It is this vision that has dissolved all boundaries and has set BIL on the never-ending path of growth and evolution.
