Overview :
Key Takeaways
- India Carbon Limited was established in 1961 and founded by Mr. B. Himatsingka — a pioneer in India’s carbon products industry with over six decades of operating history.
- The company’s core product is Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) — an essential raw material for aluminium smelting, where it is used to make the carbon anodes that conduct electricity in the smelting process.
- Recent price reference: around ₹895 per share, placing it among the higher-priced industrial unlisted shares.
- Sister company relationship: the Himatsingka family is also associated with Assam Carbon Products Limited (Guwahati), giving the group a broad presence across carbon and graphite products. See our Assam Carbon page →
- The structural driver: every tonne of aluminium produced requires roughly 0.4 tonnes of carbon anodes. India’s aluminium capacity expansion directly drives CPC demand.
Company Overview & Fundamentals

|---|---|
| Company Name | India Carbon Limited |
| Established | 1961 |
| Founder | Mr. B. Himatsingka |

| Recent Price Reference | ~₹895 |
| Associated Company | Assam Carbon Products Limited (Himatsingka family) |
What Calcined Petroleum Coke Is — And Why It Matters
Green petroleum coke (a by-product of oil refining) is heated to very high temperatures in a rotary kiln — a process called calcining — which removes moisture and volatile matter, producing Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC): a dense, high-purity carbon material.
Its primary use is aluminium smelting. In the Hall-Héroult process, aluminium is produced by passing electric current through alumina dissolved in molten cryolite, using carbon anodes. Those anodes are made largely from CPC. The anodes are consumed in the reaction — meaning CPC demand is directly proportional to aluminium production, and it must be continuously replenished.
Other applications: steel and titanium dioxide manufacture, graphite electrodes, and various carbon-based industrial products.
Why this is a genuinely attractive niche:
- Consumable, not durable. Anodes are consumed in smelting. CPC demand recurs continuously as long as smelters operate.
- Quality-critical. Aluminium smelters are extremely demanding about CPC specifications — sulphur content, metal impurities, real density. Qualification takes years, creating high switching costs.
- Structural aluminium demand. Aluminium is central to electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, packaging, construction and transmission lines.
- India’s aluminium capacity is growing, and domestic CPC supply has historically lagged demand, requiring imports.
Why Consider India Carbon Unlisted Shares?
- Six decades of operating history since 1961 — a genuine pioneer with deep technical knowledge
- Essential consumable product — CPC is continuously consumed by aluminium smelters
- High switching costs — smelters qualify CPC suppliers over years and rarely change
- Aluminium demand tailwinds — EVs, renewables, transmission infrastructure and packaging all drive aluminium consumption
- Import substitution opportunity — India has historically imported CPC, and domestic capacity is valuable
- Established customer relationships with major aluminium producers
- Group presence — the Himatsingka family’s associated carbon businesses provide sector depth
Risks to Consider — Read Carefully
- Limited public financial disclosure. Detailed audited revenue, profit and balance-sheet data are not readily available. Request the latest filings from Arms Securities before investing — this is the most important step.
- Raw material dependence. Green petroleum coke is sourced from refineries; availability and pricing are outside company control, and quality varies by crude slate.
- Customer concentration. Aluminium smelting is dominated by a handful of large producers in India, giving buyers significant negotiating power.
- Commodity cyclicality. Aluminium prices drive smelter utilisation, which drives CPC demand. Aluminium downturns hit CPC volumes directly.
- Environmental regulation. Calcining is emissions-intensive. Tightening pollution norms require capital investment and can constrain operations — this has been a live issue for the Indian CPC industry.
- Import competition, particularly from China, has periodically pressured domestic CPC pricing.
- Energy-intensive process — power and fuel costs directly affect margins.
- No IPO announced — OTC-only liquidity.
- High per-share price at around ₹895 means substantial minimum tickets.

FAQs
What is the current price of India Carbon unlisted shares?
A recent reference places India Carbon around ₹895 per share, though prices move with OTC demand. For today’s confirmed Arms Securities quote and available quantity, call +91-8882245112.
When was India Carbon established and by whom?
India Carbon Limited was established in 1961 and founded by Mr. B. Himatsingka. It is regarded as a pioneer in India’s carbon products industry.
What does India Carbon manufacture?
Its core product is Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) — produced by calcining green petroleum coke at high temperature. CPC is the essential raw material for the carbon anodes used in aluminium smelting, and is also used in steel, titanium dioxide manufacture and graphite electrodes.
Why is calcined petroleum coke important?
Because aluminium cannot be produced without carbon anodes, and those anodes are made largely from CPC. The anodes are consumed in the smelting reaction, so demand recurs continuously. Roughly 0.4 tonnes of carbon anode is required per tonne of aluminium produced.
Is India Carbon related to Assam Carbon Products?
Both companies are associated with the Himatsingka family. Assam Carbon Products Limited is based in Guwahati and manufactures carbon and graphite products including carbon brushes. They are separate legal entities — see our Assam Carbon page.
Is India Carbon profitable?

What does India Carbon make?
Calcined Petroleum Coke — produced by calcining green petroleum coke at high temperature. CPC is the essential raw material for the carbon anodes used in aluminium smelting, and is also used in steel, titanium dioxide manufacture and graphite electrodes.
Why is CPC demand structurally durable?
Because aluminium cannot be produced without carbon anodes, and those anodes are consumed in the smelting reaction — roughly 0.4 tonnes of carbon anode per tonne of aluminium. Demand recurs continuously as long as smelters operate.
The Aluminium Link Explained
In the Hall-Héroult process, aluminium is produced by passing electric current through alumina dissolved in molten cryolite, using carbon anodes. Those anodes are made largely from CPC — and they are burned away in the reaction.
This creates an unusually good demand profile:
| Feature | Implication |
|---|---|
| Consumable, not durable | Every tonne of aluminium consumes CPC. Demand never “saturates” |
| ~0.4 tonnes anode per tonne aluminium | Demand is mathematically linked to smelter output |
| Quality-critical | Smelters are extremely demanding on sulphur content, metal impurities, real density |
| Multi-year qualification | Approval takes years — switching costs are high |
| Aluminium is a growth metal | EVs, renewables, transmission lines, packaging, construction |
| India imports CPC | Domestic capacity has historically lagged demand |
What To Verify Before Buying
India Carbon does not publish detailed audited financials in the public domain. Before investing, ask Arms Securities to obtain:
- Capacity and utilisation — how many tonnes per annum, running at what rate?
- Customer list and concentration — Indian aluminium smelting is dominated by a handful of very large producers
- Green petroleum coke sourcing — availability and pricing are outside company control
- Environmental compliance status — calcining is emissions-intensive and has been a live regulatory issue for the Indian CPC industry
- Latest revenue, PAT and debt position
