Background Note Contd...

In 1948, Bombay Oil Industries Limited (BOIL) was established, by the family with facilities for coconut oil extraction, crushing and refining of vegetable oils. BOIL set up four manufacturing plants between 1947 and 1971- at Sewree for coconut oil extraction, at Mazgaon for refining vegetable oils, a chemical plant at Bhandup, all the three in Bombay and a spice extraction plant near Cochin, Kerala.
Vallabhdas had four sons Charandas, Jayasinh, Hansraj and Kishore, all of whom were engaged in the family business. The eldest, Charandas was the Chairman and Managing Director of BOIL while his younger brothers were on the Boards of Directors of BOIL and its subsidiaries.

In 1983, BOIL formed three divisions - the Consumer products division, Fatty acids and Chemicals division and the Spice Extracts division. Harsh, the only son of Charandas, who joined the family business in 1971, developed the Consumer Products business in BOIL and functioned as Executive Director from 1980 to 1990.
In the 1980s, the next generation of Mariwalas entered the business. In April 1990, BOIL was restructured from a single corporate entity into a multi-corporate entity. Accordingly, five companies commenced business by taking over the various businesses of BOIL. (Exhibit: I). The Consumer Products division was hived off as a separate company and the newborn entity was named Marico Industries Limited (Marico).
