Our Story

From India's First CO₂ Recovery Plant to a Nationwide Industrial Network.

Our Mission

To deliver reliable, safe, and sustainable CO₂ solutions that help industries operate efficiently and grow confidently.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted global provider of CO₂, dry ice, and industrial gas solutions through innovation, quality, and engineering excellence.

The Vision That Started an Industry

BIG GROUP was founded by Chemical Engineer Chamatkar Singh Grover, whose early experience in breweries and distilleries revealed a major opportunity in India's industrial ecosystem.

Recognizing that valuable carbon dioxide generated during the fermentation process was being wasted and released into the atmosphere, he established India's first commercial CO₂ recovery facility in Bathinda, Punjab, in 1989.

That pioneering initiative laid the foundation for a sustainable industry that now supports the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing sectors across the country.

"Our early goal was simple yet profound: recover what is being wasted and refine it into a critical resource. Today, that circular concept powers leading brands across the country."

Expanding Across India

Over the decades, BIG GROUP evolved from a single pioneering manufacturing facility into a nationwide network of strategically located plants.

Under the leadership of the next generation, the company expanded its presence across multiple states, strengthening supply reliability, upgrading plant automation, and creating one of India's most extensive, reliable CO₂ and dry ice distribution networks.
