Lime Chemicals Ltd (LCL), established in 1970 in Maharashtra, specializes in manufacturing Calcium Carbonate, serving industries such as toothpaste, pharmaceuticals, PVC, rubber, plastics, polymers, cables, leather, paper, and paints. LCL achieved a significant milestone by going public in 1986, which strengthened its market position in India. The company's production capabilities were further enhanced in 1987 with the commissioning of a second unit in Himachal Pradesh, boosting capacity and consolidating its brand portfolio, including LIMCAL and DICAL.
Through strategic expansions and mergers, notably with Thirani Chemicals Limited in 1997-98, LCL increased its Calcium Carbonate production capacity substantially, reaching 62,500 MTPA. The rights issue in 1996 and the issuance of tradeable warrants bolstered its financial structure. These strategic moves reflect LCL's commitment to technological advancement and continuous product development, positioning it as a prominent player in the Indian Calcium Carbonate industry.
