Dalmia Bharat’s seven decades of contribution to India

It all started way back in year 1935. In 1939, the first cement division of Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited (DCBL) was established. Dalmia had established four cement plants in the pre-independence years to cater the infrastructure needs of the country.

Right from its inception, Dalmia Bharat Group has been recognized for its unflinching faith in ethical business practices.. These values are as robust today as they were more than seventy years ago. They are the compass in making the right choices even in the face of toughest of situations. These core values have helped Dalmia Bharat Group make a significant contribution to society in early independence era where group businesses ranged from textiles, to financial services, to cement, to media, to aviation.

Dalmia Bharat’s sugar business today serves as a livelihood for more than one lakh farmers in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. Studies have showcased that the standard of living, healthcare and technology and other means have improved with Dalmia Bharat’s presence. Similarly, in the story in the south Dalmia Cement has helped achieve self-sufficiency for surrounding villages to a large extent apart from building the foundation of a very large segment of South India’s Infrastructure since 1939.

Along these lines of sustainability and a healthier future, Dalmia Bharat Group has set up wind farms to generate renewable energy. Dalmia Refractories is a key player for construction steel and cement plants in India.

Currently, Mr. Puneet Dalmia (MD), who’s also known for his venture, JobsAhead.com, is setting the priorities for the group. A B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi and a gold medalist from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore, Mr. Puneet Dalmia conceptualizes the growth strategy and governance architecture. He says “Sustainable growth is the key and Dalmia Cement by being one of the first signatories of the Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) charter is leading the way”.
