General	The Braj Binani Group is a well-diversified industrial house with a 136-year history behind it. Today, the group is actively working in the core sectors of Cement, Zinc, Glass Fibre and Downstream Composite Products. Working in complete synergy across verticals, across the world. By understanding the needs of an evolving world, the Braj Binani Group is charting a path to the future. Binani Metal Works Limited went public for the first time in 1953. In 1962 Binani entered into a collaboration with the world leaders in the field of non-ferrous metals, Cominco Limited Canada, to form Cominco Binani Zinc Ltd., thus becoming the first producer of primary zinc in India. In 1967, ‘Binani’ crossed a milestone in the world zinc industry by pioneering the manufacture of high-grade electrolytic zinc in India. The reigns of this expanding business was held by Late Ghanshyam Binani, the only son of Seth Govardhandas Binani. His individual expertise and time-honed skills steered the organisation towards many more milestones. In the span of 1970s-80s Cominco Binani Zinc Ltd. upgraded its technology to be at par with the latest in the world. It also became the first plant in the country to commence production of special high-grade electrolytic zinc with 99.995% purity. In 1983 Binani Metals Ltd. was formed merging Binani Metal Works. By 1991, the company, having surged to a production capacity of 38,000 tonnes per annum of zinc and zinc based products, was re-christened as Binani Zinc Ltd.
