- Rossell India Limited, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Kolkata, India, engages in the cultivation, manufacture, and sale of premium bulk tea, including CTC and Orthodox varieties, from seven estates in Assam—Dikom, Nokhroy, Nagrijuli, Romai, Namsang, Dhoedaam, and Kharikatia—with annual production of approximately 7.50 million kilograms exported to markets such as the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. The company produces black pepper as an additional agricultural product and maintains a workforce of over 5,300 employees across its operations focused on the tea industry. In 2024, Rossell India divested its aerospace and defense engineering business, including wire harnesses, electronic systems, panels, racks, and test solutions previously offered through the Rossell Techsys division, into a separate entity, Rossell Techsys Limited; this strategic demerger allowed a return to core tea production roots. The company further expanded in January 2025 by acquiring Dhoedaam Tea Estate, its largest property producing 1.8 million kilograms annually, which contributed to Q1 FY2026 revenue growth of 45.1% to INR 4,358 lakh and profit increase of 8.7% to INR 801 lakh. Formerly known as Rossell Tea Limited until its rebranding in April 2011, Rossell India operates as a subsidiary of BMG Enterprises Ltd and emphasizes sustainable practices in Assam's prime tea-growing regions.
