VMS Industries Limited operates primarily in ship recycling and trading of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, the company engages in ship breaking activities at the Alang-Sosiya ship recycling yard in Gujarat, which is a leading center for ship recycling in Asia. Its manufacturing segment focuses on dismantling old and used ships to recover scrap and reusable materials, while the trading segment deals with the sale of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. VMS Industries also has historical involvement in information technology services related to land revenue and ration card computerization but has transitioned its core focus to ship recycling and related trading activities. The company was previously known as Varun Management Services Pvt. Ltd until it changed its name to VMS Industries Limited in 2010.
In recent developments, VMS Industries has consolidated its reporting into a single segment focused on manufacturing iron and steel scrap as of fiscal year 2025-26. The company continues to operate 37 ships for its ship recycling activities and has maintained its strategic position at berth 160M at the Alang ship breaking yard. There are no publicly disclosed acquisitions or major expansions in new geographical markets in the last two years, but it underwent a reclassification for segment reporting and has been active in improving operational efficiencies. The promoter has also released 500,000 shares from encumbrance in late 2025, indicating a move towards capital reorganization. The company remains a key player in ship recycling with a focus on sustainable scrap trading and manufacturing industries in India.
VMS Industries operates primarily in India with its flagship operations in Gujarat at Alang. It serves customers in the ship recycling sector and the metal trading market. The company is certified with ISO quality and environmental standards relevant to its ship recycling and offshore business activities. It continues to adapt its business model with a focus on core manufacturing and trading businesses, responding to market dynamics in the steel scrap and ship recycling industry. The company is publicly listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange under the ticker VMS.BO.
