Ambuja Cements Limited was earlier known as Gujarat Ambuja Cements Limited (GACL).
The company was set up in 1986. In this short span Ambuja Cements has achieved massive
growth and presently, the total cement capacity of the company is 16 million tonnes. The
company has three subsidiaries, viz, Ambuja Cement Rajasthan Limited (ACRL), Ambuja
Cement Eastern Limited (ACEL) and Ambuja Cement India Limited (ACIL). Ambuja also has
a strategic investment in ACC through its subsidiary (ACIL).
Ambuja Cements is the most profitable cement company in India, and the lowest cost
producer of cement in the world. One of the major reasons that Ambuja Cements is the
lowest cost producer of cement in the world is its emphasis on efficiency. Power consists
over 40% of the production cost of cement. The company improved efficiency of its kilns to
get more output for less power. Thereafter Ambuja Cements set up a captive power plant at
a substantially lower cost than the national grid. The company sourced a cheaper and higher
quality coal from South Africa, and a better furnace oil from the Middle East. As a result,
today, the company is in a position to sell its excess power to the local state government.
Ambuja cement is the first company to introduce the concept of bulk cement movement by
sea in India. This resulted in speedier transportation and brought many coastal markets
within easy reach. Ambuja Cements has a port terminal at Muldwarka, Gujarat. It is an all
weather port that handles ships with 40,000 DWT. The port has a fleet of seven ships with a
capacity of 20500 DWT to ferry bulk cement to the packaging units. The company has bulk
cement terminals at Surat, Panvel, and Galle. The Surat terminal has a storage capacity of
15,000 tonnes and Panvel terminal has a storage capacity of 17,500 tonnes. Both the
terminals have bulk cement unloading facility. The port at Galle, 120 km from Colombo, Sri
Lanka, handles million tonnes of cement annually.
Major Achievements of Ambuja Cement
• Most profitable cement company in India.

process began in 1888 with the export of Sunlight soap, which was followed by Lifebuoy in
1895 and other famous brands like Pears, Lux and Vim soon after. In 1931, Unilever set up
its first Indian subsidiary, Hindustan Vanaspati Manufacturing Company, followed by Lever
Brothers India Limited (1933) and United Traders Limited (1935). The three companies were
merged in November 1956 and the new entity that came into existence after merger was

framework allowed HLL to explore every single product and opportunity segment, without
any constraints on production capacity. The 1990s witnessed a string of crucial mergers,
acquisitions and alliances. In 1992, the erstwhile Brooke Bond acquired Kothari General
Foods, with significant interests in Instant Coffee. In 1993, it acquired the Kissan business
from the UB Group and the Dollops Ice-cream business from Cadbury India. In one of the

and Lipton India merged to form Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited (BBLIL). Brooke Bond
Lipton India Limited launched Wall's range of Frozen Desserts in 1994 and by the end of the
year, HLL entered into a strategic alliance with the Kwality Icecream Group families. BBLIL
merged with HLL, with effect from January 1, 1996. HLL has also set up a subsidiary in
Nepal, Nepal Lever Limited (NLL). The NLL factory manufactures HLL's products like Soaps,
Detergents and Personal Products both for the domestic market and exports to India. In
January 2000, as part of its divestment strategy, the government decided to award 74 per
cent equity in Modern Foods to HLL. In 2002, HLL acquired the government's remaining
stake in Modern Foods. In February 2007, the company has been renamed to "Hindustan
Unilever Limited" to strike the optimum balance between maintaining the heritage of the
Company and the future benefits and synergies of global alignment with the corporate name
of "Unilever".

Nirma is one of the most recognizable Indian brands. Its story is a classic example of the success of
Indian entrepreneurship in the face of stiff competition. Nirma took on the might of giant multinationals and
wrote a new chapter in the Indian corporate history. Starting as a one-man operation in 1969, today, Nirma
has about 14, 000 employee-base and annual turnover of more than Rs. 25, 00 crores.
Founder of Nirma is Dr. Karsanbhai Patel, son of a small-time farmer and a qualified Science graduate. In
1969, the year he founded Nirma, Karsanbhai Patel was working as junior chemist in Government
laboratory. In the night Karsanbhai used to make detergent in the 100 Sq. Ft. back yard of his home, using
bare hands and bucket. In 1960s and 1970s, the domestic detergent market had only premium segment,
with very few players and was dominated by MNCs. After making the detergent Karsanbhai used to pack it
in polythene bag and sold it door-to-door. He priced the detergent at Rs. 3 per kg, when the available
cheapest brand in the market was Rs. 13 per kg. In a short span of time, with indigenous process,
packaging and low-profiled marketing, Nirma created an entirely new market segment in domestic
marketplace and quickly emerged as dominant market player. Nirma rewrote the marking rules and its
success story became one of the widely discussed case studies in the B-schools across the world.
In the 1980s Nirma catapulted Surf, which was a well-established detergent product by Hindustan Lever,
and occupied the top slot in the detergent products segment-a slot it has made its own. In 1990, Nirma
entered the toilet soap market and today it is the second largest toilet soap brand in India. Today, Nirma

• ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited) is India's leading oil & gas exploration
company. ONGC has produced more than 600 million metric tonnes of crude oil and supplied
more than 200 billion cubic metres of gas since its inception. Today, ONGC is India's highest
profit making corporate. It has a share of 77 percent in India's crude oil production and 81 per
cent in India's natural gas production.
The origins of ONGC can be traced to the Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, which called for
the development of petroleum industry in India. Until 1955, private oil companies such as
Assam Oil Company at Digboi, Oil India Ltd (a 50% joint venture between Government of India
and Burmah Oil Company) at Naharkatiya and Moran in Assam, and Indo-Stanvac Petroleum
project (a joint venture between Government of India and Standard Vacuum Oil Company of
USA) at West Bengal, were engaged in exploration work. The vast sedimentary tract in other
parts of India and adjoining offshore were largely unexplored. In 1955, Government of India
decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various regions of the country as
part of the Public Sector development. To achieve this objective an Oil and Natural Gas
Directorate was set up in1955, as a subordinate office under the then Ministry of Natural
Resources and Scientific Research.
The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956 placed mineral oil industry among the schedule 'A'
industries. In August 1956, to ensure efficient functioning of the Oil and Natural Gas
Directorate, the Directorate was raised to the status of a commission with enhanced powers. In
October 1959, the Commission was converted into a statutory body by an act of the Indian
Parliament, which enhanced powers of the commission further. In 1960s, ONGC found new
resources in Assam and established new oil province in Cambay basin (Gujarat). In early 1970s
went offshore and discovered a giant oil field in the form of Bombay High. After liberalization in
1991, ONGC was re-organized as a limited Company under the Company's Act, 1956 in
February 1994. Today, ONGC has grown into a full-fledged horizontally integrated petroleum
company. Recently, ONGC has made six new discoveries, at Vasai West (oil and gas) in
Western Offshore, GS-49 (gas) and GS-KW (oil and gas) in Krishna-Godavari Offshore,
Chinnewala Tibba (gas) in Rajasthan, and Laipling-gaon (oil and gas) and Banamali (oil), both
in Assam.
