Prima Secretaries Ltd. is the corporate secretary of the subject.  Prima Secretaries Ltd. is also located at the above‑mentioned address.

The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

UIL was formed on 14th May, 1994 by the late Mr. Vijay Gupta.  From being a commission agent, it has become a Power generating and a trading company and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange since incorporation.  The core activities of UIL are power generation and trading in metals.  Of all metals, UIL deals mainly in steel.  Steel trading is its core business and has been doing well.  In 1997, UIL started making investments in power generation through windmills.

UIL is a part of the Ushdev Group whose history can be traced back to 1988.  The Group began operations by trading in imported pig iron, steel scrap, non‑ferrous metals, etc., the Group has moved from strength to strength.  Today, UIL is the second largest private sector trading company after Adani.  UIL is ranked the 8th largest trading company (private and public put together) after the likes of MMTC, STC, PTC, etc.

The followings are the honours got by UIL:-

UIL was ranked the 297th by Business Standard magazine in the February 2010 issue on the basis of net sales.

Ranked the 6th by Business India magazine in the December 2009 issue on the basis of Sales to net fixed asset ratio with 100% growth in FY 2008-09 as compared to previous FY 2007-08.

Ranked the 38th by Business India on the basis of Sales to Assets Ration in the December 2009 issue.

For the year ended 31st March, 2010, the sales of UIL amounted to Rs 17,359.8 million, grew by 25.8% as compared with Rs 13,084.2 million in FY 2009; net income for the year was Rs 269.3 million, grew by 25.1% as compared with Rs 215.2 million in FY 2009.
