GHCL, formerly known as Gujarat Heavy Chemicals Limited, was registered in 1983. The company is a part of the Sanjay Dalmia Group and a Public Limited Company listed on the Stock Exchange. Now it is has a diversified business portfolio ranging from FMCG products, Textiles to Chemicals.

The Company initially forayed into the Chemical Business through the manufacture and sale of Soda ash. Since the commissioning of Soda Ash plant in 1988 in Gujarat, the Chemicals division has grown to become the second largest producer of Soda ash in the country.

In 1999, the Company diversified into Textiles Business. The Textile Division has the yarn units in Madurai and Manapparai, Tamil Nadu and Home Textile Unit in Vapi, Gujarat.

In the same year, the Company formed the Edible Salt Division by acquiring Salt Works and Salt refinery in Tamil Nadu.

With a decade of experience in edible and industrial salt businesses, the Company confidently launched the Premium Brand “i-FLO” in 2009. The Brand has grown in stature by making rapid strides in the FMCG domain. Over the years it has added many variants of edible salt to its basket of products. In 2015, the brand added its first “Non-salt” Product, “i-FLO Honey”, with many more products on the anvil.

Rightly so, the Edible Salt Division became Consumer Products Division.
