About us > Diversification

From Tea & Road Transportation to Oil & Natural Gas

Assam Company is a member of the U.K. based Duncan Macneill Group. From being the first Tea and Road Transportation in North East India, the company has diversified into the oil and gas field. The company plans to merge its subsidiary Namburnadi Tea Company (NTCL) with the parent company and demerge its oil and gas division as a step to focus on its strategic business units.
The resources like Coal, Timber, Jute and Tea were the main items of trade for the development of the North-East through the North-East to the Hinterland of India. Assam Company originally established its business in Assam, took a Board decision to consolidate its operations in Assam. With the Government of India's liberalization policy in the year 1991 - 1992, Assam Company has diversified into the Oil & Natural Gas Sector. Assam Company has demerged the Oil & Natural Gas Division and is operating under the name and style of Assam Oil & Natural Gas Limited.

Tea deserves the same respect that wine is afforded.  The similarities are many with histories and antiquities intermingled and developed with heritage and culture.  Both are judged by the body, texture and age. However, tea has an added advantage of  providing inherent health benefits.

The greater delight of ours is the location and ambience provided with tea novices, students and people of all cultures and income groups sharing a social leveler is truly amazing.

A guest at one of our Tea Bars was enjoying a cup after cup of her favourite tea and she explained how she got transported to a sunnier, tropical island – “On a beach with clear blue sea water lapping lazily on her toes, coconut trees swayed above her and a pineapple slice decorated the tea in her hand.  At least a million miles away transported with the flavour of tea”.  She looked outside at the street and poured another cup of tea.

We offer an opportunity to go out and drink tea and tea based mocktails are available making the experience of going out to drink to be fun, relaxing, sociable and a good laugh.   A visit to our Tea Bar will not make you regret or make yourself into something you are not.  It provides an opportunity to celebrate your existence.  What we offer is a choice and its all about making the right choice.
