Assam Carbon Products Limited (ACPL) is a long-established leader in India’s carbon and graphite industry, serving a diverse range of industrial sectors for over five decades. With a strong legacy, advanced technology, and a diversified product portfolio, the company has evolved into one of the foremost manufacturers of carbon-related solutions for both domestic and global markets.
Legacy & Evolution of Assam Carbon
ACPL began its journey nearly 50 years ago, establishing its first plant in Assam and gradually expanding into one of India’s most respected carbon product manufacturers. Its joint venture with Morgan Group, lasting until 2016, played a crucial role in upgrading the company’s technological capabilities.

2016 – A New Identity
In 2016, the present management acquired Morgan’s entire stake, making ACPL a fully independent entity. However, as per the exit agreement, the company retained perpetual rights to manufacture all grades and products originally developed under the JV—an advantage that continues to strengthen its product competitiveness worldwide.
