HINDUSTAN ORGANIC CHEMICALS LIMITED

Hindustan Organic Chemicals Limited (HOCL), a leader in chemical Industry was incorporated in 1960 under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers with the objective of attaining self-reliance in basic organic chemicals needs. It was expected that indigenous manufacture of these chemical intermediates will give impetus to downstream industries resulting in setting up of chemical units and achieving self-sufficiency for the country in this area. This objective of setting up HOCL has been achieved and at present more than 500 units based on HOC’s products have been set up all over the country which have not only succeeded in meeting the goal of self-sufficiency but also entered the international markets. The English acronym ‘HOC’ forms the background over which on a band of cyan Devanagari acronym in reverse lettering is placed.
