At a very early stage, company developed various Castor Oil derivatives through its research team and commercially produced a number of such Castor Oil derivatives at their Unit started in early 1952 at Mazgaon (Mumbai), which found wide acceptance both in domestic and international markets. 

 

In order to take control of its supply chain and meet its own Castor Oil requirements, company started a state-of-the-art Castor Seed Crushing Plant at Baroda in 1974.

Subject has the following advantages vis-a-vis other players in India:

 

Company Unit has a large castor-producing area at its hinterland & is connected both through rail & road to the castor markets & seaports. This gives it the advantage of hassle-free operation of its activities. Moreover, they have transfered their processes from the Bhandup plant to Baroda plant to take advantage of economies of scale. 
  

Company - promoted by the Kapadia family - is known and respected long-term player in the Castor Oil market. This helps the Company in the procurement of Castor Seed, an important function for the success of this business. 

  

They are an international market player, having reputed MNC conglomerates as our clients with whom they have had relationships ranging from 8 to 20 years. With some of these customers, they have reserved the first right of refusal for ourselves. This gives unique advantage to company.

  

Castor Bean procurement is one of the most critical functions in the Castor Oil business. They have a dedicated team of seasoned marketing professionals to look after their raw material procurement. They also have the resources to store large volumes of raw materials incase of opportune buying. This strength has placed high above the other players.  

  

The pre-eminence of company in the Castor Oil Market can be gauged from the fact that out of the 8,50,000 tons of Castor Seed produced in India in 2004-05, about 200764 tons i.e. about 23.62% of the total production in the country was consumed by us.
