1.1 HISTORY
The Morarjee Goculdas Spinning & Weaving Co. Ltd. is the oldest textile company in India, established as early as 1871.

Since inception, quality and service were the hallmark of the company. Riding on these factors, the company has survived the ups and downs in the textile sector. In the early 90s the biggest challenge came from World War I. Not only did the mill survive, it came out much stronger. In 1940, the mill joined the Swadeshi movement and set up a Khaki department. It won special acclaim from Mahatma Gandhi for this. In 1942 the Viceroy awarded a gold medal to the company for the khaki drill. The 1950s was the period of unparalleled growth and expansion. The dye house was modernized with the installation of a continuous open width boiling & bleaching plant, a modern impregnating unit & a steaming J. Box. This was to improve the fastness of mineral khaki for which Morarjee Mills have been known for. Next on the cards was acquisition. Morarjee took over the Sayaji Mills located in Mumbai in 1981 and transformed it from an obsolete loss making unit to a highly profitable modern textile mill.
