Godrej Industries Limited is India's leading manufacturer of oleochemicals and makes more than a hundred chemicals for use in over two dozen industries. It also manufactures edible oils, vanaspati and bakery fats. Besides, it operates real estate.

GIL is a member of the Godrej Group, which was established in 1897 and has since grown into a US$1.875 billion congl ...omerate. The company was called Godrej Soaps Limited until March 31, 2001. Thereafter, the consumer products division got de-merged into Godrej Consumer Products Limited, and the residual Godrej Soaps became Godrej Industries Limited. This led to the formation of two separate corporate entities: Godrej Consumer Products and Godrej Industries.
