About J.G. Chemicals Limited

J.G. Chemicals Limited (JGCL) is India’s largest manufacturer of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and ranks among the top ten producers globally, offering over 80 customised grades to a diverse range of industries, including tyres, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, ceramics, and paints.

The Company serves more than 200 domestic clients and over 50 international customers across more than 10 countries, and is an approved vendor to nine of the world’s top ten tyre manufacturers as well as all of India’s top eleven tyre makers. Headquartered in Kolkata, JGCL operates three manufacturing facilities—two in West Bengal and one in Naidupeta, Andhra Pradesh. Notably, the Naidupeta unit is the only IATF-approved Zinc Oxide facility in the world and also holds WHO GMP certification.

Founded in 1975 by Mr. Suresh Jhunjhunwala, the Company has scaled from a modest 600 MTPA capacity to a production capability of 70,000 TPA of zinc chemicals, all while maintaining a zero-debt position through prudent financial management. JGCL has strategically expanded manufacturing operations closer to key customers, particularly in the tyre sector.

JGCL, along with its subsidiary, is part of the BDJ Group. The Company’s equity shares were listed on BSE and NSE on March 13, 2024, following a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO)—a significant milestone in its growth journey.

The Company’s product suite includes Zinc Oxide, Zinc Sulphate, and Zinc Ingot, with a strong focus on recycling zinc dross and ash using the French Process to produce high-purity outputs that meet stringent customer specifications. Around 95% of sales are direct, with a repeat-customer rate of nearly 90%, highlighting its emphasis on quality, reliability, and long-term partnerships.
