Varun Industries Ltd. Company History and Annual Growth Details

Our Company incorporated as Varun Continental Limited on March 8, 1996 and
received the Certificate for Commencement of Business on March 15, 1996 from
the Registrar of Companies, Maharashtra, Mumbai. Our registered office earlier
located at Dwarkesh Market, Dr. A.M. Road, Near Central Bank, Bhuleshwar,
Mumbai - 400 002, was shifted to its present location w.e.f. July 24, 1996.

Our Company is promoted by Mr. Kiran Mehta, Mr. Kailash Agarwal and Mr. Virendra
Mehta with the main object to carry on the business of manufacturers, exporters,
importers and traders in stainless steel kitchenware and houseware items. Our
Company took over Varun Exports, the proprietorship concern of Mr. Kiran N. Mehta
on April 10, 1996, which had been in the business of exports of stainless steel utensils.
Our Company changed its name to Varun Industries Limited and received a fresh
certificate of incorporation as on April 21, 2005. Today, our Company has a wide
range of 1500 varieties of kitchenware, houseware, tableware, cutlery and other items
of various types. We procure these products by a network of 80 dedicated suppliers
spread across the country and we are exporting these products to many countries all
across the globe.

As a process of backward integration and to increase our profit margin we have
planned to develop an inhouse manufacturing and warehousing facility at Vasai (E),
District Thane near Mumbai and a Stainless Steel Sheet Re-rolling Mill at Jodhpur.
We expect to commence our commercial production from both these manufacturing
units in September 2007.

Recently, we have ventured into other businesses like electricity generation through
windmill. We are also venturing into exporting of agro based products, hydroelectric
power generation, iron and ore mining and oil and gas drilling. Further, looking at the
prospects of industry, we are planning to foray into the domestic market by supplying
our products to various retail chains.
