Key Points

Business Overview:[1][2]
ZACL is the erstwhile flagship company of Adventz Group. It was manufacturing and marketing Single Super Phosphate (SSP)
and other fertiliser products through its
brand Jai Kisaan, which it divested to group company Paradeep Phosphates
through a slump sale.
Currently, the company is primarily
a holding company, with its main
economic interest through its share
in a JV Zuari Maroc Phosphates Private
Limited (ZMPPL), through which it owns
~56% stake in the Paradeep Phosphates.
Some continuing operations in fertiliser retail
are still under continuation.
The company also holds large land banks in Goa but hasn't been able to monetise land bank due to changes in land policies in Goa.
