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 has a major presence in food products such as refined oil and tetrapack fruit beverages. Besides, it operates businesses in medical diagnostics and real estate. GIL is a member of the Godrej Group, which was established in 1897 and has since grown into a Rs 4,500 crore conglomerate. 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. Besides its three businesses, Godrej Industries also runs four divisions ' corporate finance, corporate personnel, corporate audit and methods, and research and development ' which operate on behalf of the entire Godrej Group.
