Oil and gas discovered in Bombay High and South Basin triggered the birth of 8 new generation fertilizer plants to fulfill the growing food needs of India. In 1976, it set up a plant in Bharuch which trades as Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilisers & Chemicals, as a subsidiary of GSFC.
In 2012, GSFC incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called GSFC AgroTech Limited (GATL).[5]
In 2015, GSFC helped start GSFC University in Vadodara, Gujarat.[6]
