The Dalmia Bharat Group was founded in 1939 by the late Shri Jaidayal Dalmia.
Having been around for more than 80 years, the group now enjoys leadership in core sectors such as Cement, Refractories and Sugar.
The Cement business, through sustainability initiatives, has achieved the lowest carbon footprint in the cement sector globally and is amongst the most efficient cement companies in the world.
Being one of the leading sugar producers in the country, the sugar business is geographically well diversified and committed to ‘Green Growth’ which empowers the group to enhance value for all its customers.
Traditionally present in southern, eastern, northern and north-eastern India, the group, through its refractories business, has expanded its footprints globally by making various acquisitions in Germany and other European countries.
In the last sixteen years, the group’s sales have grown at a CAGR of 24% to over ₹ 13,800 Cr in the year 2021 and the market cap has also grown to ₹ 31,191 Cr in the year 2021.
As of today, the group’s companies collectively employ over 8500 people.
The group’s strong commitment towards nation building has been represented in the construction of landmark projects such as the Hirakud Dam, the Dhola Sadiya Bridge, the Kochi Metro and the Chennai Metro.
Created with the sole purpose to assist in building India, the Dalmia Bharat Group’s growth has always been intertwined with that of the nation.
Our Vision, Goal & Values

Our Vision
To unleash the potential of everyone we touch.
Our Goal
To be in the top two in all our businesses on the strength of our people and the speed of our innovation.
Our Values

Integrity
Wisdom is knowing which is the right path. Integrity is taking that right path. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral values. It is our aptitude for doing what’s right and not what’s easy. We believe it is an opportunity to come out of our comfort zone and create a bridge of faith with those around us. We nurture a habitat where success is measured by conduct and individuals never stray from their line of duty.
Humility
Humility is the concern of what is right and not who is right.
Perfection is impossible without humility. Humility is our ultimate strength. It is our willingness to follow, as much as our capacity to lead. It discovers the true measure of our own self and transforms us into being open towards learning and growing. Humility is the bliss of an equilibrium that lets us scale to the next level of greatness that is captured in a single word and summed up in one philosophy.


Trust & Respect
Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair. Respect is earned, trust is gained. The two together remind us of our unique worth, multiply our combined strength and the miracles that each of us are capable of.
Commitment
Motivation gets you started, Commitment is what keeps you going.
We believe commitment is power which transforms a promise into reality. It is the bond that glues us with our goals and helps us realise that success is never attained by accident. It makes us believe that where there’s a will, there’s always a way.

Dalmia DNA
At Dalmia Bharat Group, we have worked with a strong cultural connect, commitment, and jazbaa for over 80 years. Twenty years ago, we moved to Dalmia 2.0, and today, we are known as one of the leading brands in cement and sugar. We have an equally strong presence in the refractory business.
Sustainable growth has been a part of our ethos for years now which is a result of the four strong pillars of profitability, growth, sustainability, and reputation. Dalmia Bharat Group is a leading contributor to global sustainability efforts, through our philosophy of “Clean and Green is Profitable and Sustainable”.
As an organisation, we have always felt that to grow from good to great, we should always live by a certain set of values and live by a positive DNA. We are proud to say that we have stayed the course and built our organisation on a strong foundation of Indian values and culture which is reflected by our DNA.
