Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. emerged as one big company after merging with various Jain Group Companies, such as Jain Plastic & Chemicals Ltd., Jain Kemira Fertilizers Ltd., Jain Rahan Biotech Ltd, Jain Brothers Industries, Anubhuti School, and Jain Pipe. Jain continued acquiring companies to expand its business penetration. After some big acquisitions it has currently second-largest irrigation company and third-largest dehydrated onion producer in the world.
JISL then acquired Tera Agro Technologies and the mango-processing division of Parle-Bisleri Pvt. Ltd., both located in India. After this and similar other acquisitions, JISL became the largest processor of fruits & vegetables within India and the biggest mango pulp processor in the organised sector of the world.
In 1963, selling kerosene from a pushcart, a young law graduate Bhavarlal Jain, founded a business. The family formed a partnership with ₹ 7, 000, a accumulated savings of three generations, as capital. Soon, agencies for two wheelers, auto vehicles, and automobile accessories were established.
