The company was originally incorporated as Shri Krishan Gupta Private

 Saraf and Mr. V.P. Agarwal.  The plant was initially set up for the
 manufacture of cold rolled copper/brass strips & foils with an
 installed capacity of 1,666 TPA.  The commercial production commenced
 in 1984.

 as per the scheme of amalgamation approved by the Delhi High Court.
 
 In 1987-88 the company undertook a backward integration project by
 adding melting and hot rolling facilities to make the units composite
