"It is with profound grief that we inform of the passing of Shri Shashikant Ruia, Patriarch of the Ruia and Essar Family. He was 81.

Shashi Ruia co-founded Essar Group in 1969 alongside his brother Ravi Ruia. Their first major project was a Rs 2.5 crore contract from Madras Port Trust to construct an outer breakwater at the port. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that transformed Essar Group into a global conglomerate. Initially focused on construction and engineering, Essar Group took on significant infrastructure projects, including bridges, dams, and power plants. By the 1980s, the group had diversified into the energy sector, acquiring oil and gas assets.
