- Goa Carbon Limited manufactures and sells calcined petroleum coke (CPC), a key raw material for aluminum smelters, graphite electrode producers, titanium dioxide manufacturers, and other metallurgical and chemical industries; it also produces recarburisers, ladle additives, and carbon raisers, including the branded high-performance product gcarb+ launched in June 2024 for primary and secondary steel manufacturers and foundries. The company operates calcination plants in Goa (capacity 100,000 MT per annum), Paradeep in Odisha (168,000 MT), and Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh (40,000 MT), achieving a total annual capacity of 308,000 MT; these facilities, located near major ports including Mormugao, feature advanced screening, ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 certifications, dust extraction systems, and quality control laboratories. Incorporated in 1967 and headquartered in Panaji, Goa, as part of the Dempo Group, the company supplies customers in India and overseas, blending green petroleum coke derived from oil refining by-products into high-value CPC through high-temperature calcination that removes moisture and volatiles. In recent developments, Goa Carbon launched gcarb+, its first branded recarburiser featuring low sulphur content for reduced emissions and sustainability, positioning the firm as a total carbon solutions provider; the company approved a postal ballot in November 2025 to reappoint an independent director, increase borrowing limits to INR 750 crore, and faces a temporary shutdown of its Goa unit for maintenance starting November 12, 2025, alongside a credit rating downgrade to Acuite BBB+ in early November 2025.
