Our Heritage

The year 1857 was a turning point in Indian history. It was the year of India’s first war of
independence and the birth of a new national pride. India had finally awakened and was ready to
take on the world in its fight against tyranny and colonization. Under this back drop, a new entity
was borne, M.B.Eduljee Cassinath and Sons, a stevedoring company. This was the beginning of the
journey for the conglomerate today known as the Casby Group.
Established in 1857, the Casby Group was formerly known as M.B.Eduljee Cassinath and Sons. The
company started of as a modest stevedoring firm servicing the Mumbai Port Trust. Despite its
humble beginning, the firm slowly and steadily grew into one of the largest stevedoring companies
in India.
In line with the company’s “Mantra” of constantly evolving, Casby was one of the first Indian Companies to partake in the privatization of Container terminals in India, when they partnered with P&O Ports of Australia to build the first Private Container Terminal in India in Nhava Sheva.
