History
Until 1993, the gold control act of India severely restricted the growth of the Gold Industry. There was a Vaccum for scientific precious metals refining in India, dominated by unorganised refiners using cottage industry practices of chemical parting (inquartation) to refine gold and rudimentary assaying techniques which resulted in problems with impurity in the refined metal and resultant contamination across the gold supply chain, including jewellery articles and investment coins.

When the gold control Act was repealed in 1993, the doors were opened for the private sector to set up precious metals processing units in India.

Founded in 1994 as Chemmanur gold refinery Pvt Ltd, the company initially was involved in gold refining primarily for the jewellery trade. Over the years the company expanded into Gold & Silver assaying, Minting of Coins and bars, Physical bullion trading, and Jewellery hallmarking. The company was later rechristened to CGR Metalloys Pvt Ltd in 2016, to reflect the diverse portfolio of services and products it offers today.
