Epsilon Carbon recertified under Responsible Care

The recertification covers the company's integrated manufacturing complex in Vijayanagar in Karnataka

  • By ICN Bureau | June 03, 2026

Epsilon Carbon, a leading global manufacturer of carbon black, specialty carbon, and coal tar downstream products, has been recertified under the Responsible Care (RC) program by the Indian Chemical Council (ICC) through March 2029. 

The recertification covers the company's integrated manufacturing complex in Vijayanagar, Karnataka which is one of India's largest fully backward integrated carbon complex, with a capacity of 215,000 TPA of carbon black and 220,000 TPA of specialty carbon. 

Responsible Care is the global chemical industry's most comprehensive voluntary initiative, governing the safe and responsible management of chemicals across their entire lifecycle. This has helped the company to build a culture where Responsible Care is no longer a compliance exercise, but is embedded in daily operations, new employee induction, and cross-functional decision-making. 

The real-world impact of RC certification extends to market access and customer trust. For any customer accessing a potential supplier, the Responsible Care certification is accepted as a sufficient global standard, and Epsilon Carbon has been a preferred supplier to various critical industrial manufacturers supported by long-term supply contracts. 

Gaurav Mathur, Chief Executive Officer, Epsilon Carbon said, "We adopted Responsible Care early in our journey, well before it was a norm for a company of our scale. At that time, our focus was on building it right, not doing it quickly. That discipline has shaped our safety culture, our systems, and the trust we have built with global customers and financial partners. As we expand into Odisha and grow our product portfolio, this recertification is a signal that our commitment to responsible operations continues to scale alongside our ambitions." 

For Epsilon Carbon's global customers, partners, and financial stakeholders, the recertification provides verified, third-party assurance that operational integrity, from raw material handling through to product dispatch remains a non-negotiable standard, regardless of the scale of the company's growth.
