Our Story

From Gujarat's Clay Belt to India's Refineries

Umiya Resources Private Limited was founded in 2002 with a clear vision: to manufacture activated bleaching earth that meets the exacting quality standards of India's rapidly growing edible oil refining industry.

We chose Bhuj-Kachchh in Gujarat for good reason. The region sits above one of India's richest deposits of calcium montmorillonite clay — the primary raw material for bleaching earth. Combined with access to Mundra and Kandla ports, the location provides both raw material advantage and logistics efficiency.

Over two decades, we've grown from a single processing unit to a 3-lakh sq.ft. integrated facility incorporating raw material processing, acid activation, rotary kiln drying, milling, packaging, and quality control — all under one roof.

Location Advantage

Gujarat's Strategic Manufacturing Hub

Bhuj-Kachchh sits at the intersection of India's most productive mining belt and its most active export corridor. For a bleaching earth manufacturer, this combination is unmatched.

Gujarat handles over 40% of India's total port cargo — with Mundra Port ranking as the country's #1 port by volume. Our proximity means shorter transit, lower freight costs, and reliable delivery timelines for customers across India and for export.

The Kachchh district also supplies the highest-grade calcium montmorillonite clay in India — our primary raw material — ensuring consistent source quality that's difficult to replicate elsewhere.
