Essar GlobalEssar Global Fund Limited (“EGFL”) is a global investor, controlling a number of world-class assets diversified across the core sectors of Metals & Mining, Energy, Infrastructure (comprising Ports and EPC businesses) and Services (Shipping, IT and Retail businesses).

EGFL invests long-term capital into the portfolio companies and holds near 100% stake in all its investments. EGFL invests with a sense of active ownership, which involves direct engagement with the management of the respective businesses.

The portfolio companies have aggregate revenues of about USD 15 billion (estimated for the financial year ending 31 March 2018) and employ over 8,000 people.

Essar began as a construction company and rapidly diversified into manufacturing, services and retail. It has grown through both greenfield and brownfield development, as well as strategic global acquisitions and partnerships. Alongside its business pursuits, Essar is a socially responsible corporate. It runs community outreach initiatives alongside each and every plant location, with a focused effort on improving community health, livelihood, education, infrastructure and environment.

Essar has time and again demonstrated its ability to build world-class businesses that have elicited the interest of the best global players. Essar businesses in the telecom, BPO and oil & gas sectors have attracted more than $30 billion in Foreign Direct Investment. The most recent instance of such historic value creation was the $12.9 billion sale of Essar Oil’s 20 million tonne Vadinar refinery (along with a captive port and power plant) and 3,500-outlet retail network in August 2017.

Essar has made sustainable business practices the norm across locations, with measurable efforts towards reducing their carbon footprint at each plant. The HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) management systems in Essar are on par with the highest global standards.
