Jindal Group of Industries traces its roots back to 1901, when the visionary Late Shri Lala Ram Chandra Jindal & Late Shri Janki Dass laid the foundation of a construction business name Jindal Construction, in Delhi. What began as a humble venture in small-scale cement manufacturing soon evolved into a diversified industrial legacy, driven by innovation, dedication, and quality.
Lala Ram Chandra Jindal was a visionary leader and pioneer of India’s post-independence industrial era. He was also one of the founding members of the Federation of Business Owners. His remarkable contributions to the construction of iconic national landmarks, including Rashtrapati Bhawan, stand as lasting testaments to his vision and engineering prowess. The Group’s role in developing Bengali Market—now one of Delhi’s most historic and beloved shopping hubs—reflects his deep connection to the city’s cultural and economic fabric.
In 1917, Lala Ram Chandra Jindal expanded his entrepreneurial vision by founding Jindal Oil Mills in Shahdara, Delhi—one of India’s earliest mustard oil mills. Prior to this, he had laid the foundation for success with the establishment of Bharat Oil & Dal Mill, setting the stage for his ventures in edible oils and agro-products. With Jindal Oil Mills, he introduced the mustard oil brand Peacock, which quickly became a trusted name in Indian kitchens.
Over the decades, Peacock Mustard Oil grew into a household staple, renowned for its purity and traditional flavor. The brand established a strong foothold in local Delhi markets and expanded its reach across Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, becoming an integral part of culinary traditions and wellness practices in these regions. Peacock's enduring legacy continues to reflect the values of quality, trust, and heritage across generations.
The legacy of the Jindal Group of Industries was carried forward with vision and determination by Late Shri Jadoo Ram Jindal, a dynamic leader who played a pivotal role in shaping the Group’s modern trajectory. As one of the founding members of the Federation of Delhi Factory Owners, Shri J.R. Jindal was not only an industrialist but also a key contributor to the development of Delhi’s manufacturing ecosystem.
Under his leadership, the Group diversified its operations and entered new sectors. In 1985, the Jindal Group ventured into the adhesive and insulation solutions market with the establishment of M/s. JR Jindal Electrical Tapes. This marked the beginning of a new chapter, as the company introduced a range of high-performance products including Fevicol-based adhesives, BOPP tapes, and PVC insulation tapes.
Driven by a commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, the Group has consistently expanded its manufacturing capabilities and product offerings. Since 1986, it has grown to become a leading player in India’s tape industry, trusted by clients across diverse sectors for its reliable and industry-grade solutions.
Now in its third generation of leadership, the Group continues to thrive under the strategic guidance of Chairman Shri Sanjeev Jindal. In 2012, he founded JR Jindal Infraprojects Pvt. Ltd., which has since emerged as a market leader in PVC insulation tapes. Today, the Group is in the final stages of establishing India’s first fully integrated in-house tape manufacturing facility in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, under the Government’s Make in India initiative—marking a significant milestone in its journey toward innovation and self-reliance.
Looking ahead, Jindal Group is making strong strides into the green energy sector. It is currently setting up a 400 KLPD ethanol production facility in Balaghat and is actively pursuing future-ready projects including solar panel manufacturing and compressed bio-gas (CBG) production. These ventures underscore the Group’s commitment to sustainability, clean energy, and nation-building.
