 Genesis & Evolution :

The Ruia family’s origins are in Rajasthan. Sometime in the 19th century,
they moved to Mumbai and set up their own business. In 1956, Mr Nandkishore Ruia,

Essar Information Technology Ltd.(EITL), Hazira | Pending Job Portal 4

father of Mr Shashi Ruia and Mr Ravi Ruia, moved to Chennai, capital of the south
Indian state of Tamil Nadu, to begin independent business activities. He mentored his
two sons in the intricacies of business. When Mr Nandkishore Ruia passed away in
1969, the brothers laid the foundation of the Group.
The Essar Group began its operations with the construction of an
outer breakwater in Chennai port. It quickly moved to capitalize on
every emerging business opportunity, becoming India’s first
private company to buy a tanker in 1976. The Group also invested
in a diverse shipping fleet and oilrigs, when the Government of
India opened up the shipping and drilling businesses to private
players in the 1980s.
Then, in the 1990s, Essar began its steelmaking business by setting up
India’s first sponge iron plant in Hazira, a coastal town in the western Indian state of
Gujarat. The Group went on to build a pellet plant in Visakhapatnam, and eventually
a fully integrated steel plant in Hazira.
Through the 1990s, with the gradual liberalization of the Indian
economy, Essar seized every opportunity that came its way. It diversified its shipping
fleet, started oil & gas exploration and production, laid the foundation of its oil
refinery at Vadinar, Gujarat, and set up a power plant near the steel complex in
Hazira. The construction business helped the Group build most of its business assets.
Essar also entered the GSM telephony business, establishing India’s first mobile phone
service in Delhi (branded Essar Cellphone) with Swiss PTT as the joint venture
partner.
The 21st century for the Essar Group has been all about consolidating
and growing the businesses, with mergers and acquisitions, new revenue streams and
strategic geographical expansion.
