The founding entity for the present company was a family owned outfit, which started bauxite mining in the area in 1953-54 and continued
thereafter.
In 1974, the outfit was reconstituted into a partnership firm with the name M/s Saurashtra Calcine Bauxite & Allied Industries, whereby along with continuing to mine bauxite, the company also entered the production of calcined
bauxite.
This company was further incorporated as a Public Limited, Joint Stock, Company, having the current name M/s Saurashtra Calcine Bauxite & Allied Industries Limited (SCABAL), on 27th March, 1997 (Certificate of Incorporation No.04-25499 of
1994-95).
The company, as such, has been involved in the activity of mining bauxite, manufacturing calcined bauxite and marketing in India and outside. They were exporting metal grade bauxite, between 1965 and 1979, to Japan, UK and Canada. They also supplied cargoes to other exporters, who exported the same on their own
name.
There has not been any significant change in the management activities and business of the company during the above two transformations - from family owned outfit to a partnership firm and then to a Public Limited - Joint Stock Company since last 30 years.
