A heritage carried forward
An inherited Goshala and cow-care tradition begins. It informs one part of the group’s work today; it is not presented as the founding date of the modern group.
Corporate profile
Heritage carried forward. Enterprise built through research.
JBE Group brings together ten principal business divisions, combining an inherited cow-care tradition with a modern research and commercial foundation established from 1995–1999.
Our story
Two foundations, one continuing purpose.
An inherited Goshala and cow-care tradition dating to 1823 informs one part of the group’s work today.
JBE Group’s modern research and commercial foundation was established through focused agricultural research from 1995 to 1999. This work studied traditional agricultural formulations and their application across varied field conditions, establishing a culture grounded in observation, adaptation and practical use.
Today, the group’s companies operate through ten principal business divisions. Cross-group capabilities in trading, logistics, refinery management, mines and minerals, and eco-friendly plants support and extend those divisions rather than forming a separate company structure.
