India is the world&#8217;s second largest tea producer at 1.4 billion kg annually, with Assam producing 700 million kg and Darjeeling 10 million kg of premium garden teas commanding Rs 1,200 to 3,000 per kg auction prices. Goodricke Group Ltd (Camellia Group UK) is India&#8217;s largest CTC tea producer with 11 Assam estates and 85 million kg annual capacity. Rossell India Ltd operates Assam tea estates and has a high growth aerospace connectors business providing revenue diversification. Jay Shree Tea and Industries Ltd is the mid-cap Assam and Cachar region plantation company. McLeod Russel India Ltd (now listed as a subsidiary entity) is one of India&#8217;s largest tea producers. Specialty and organic teas from Darjeeling targeting health conscious European and US markets are growing at 15 percent annually.<\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, sees Rossell India as the most unique plantation company, combining Assam tea estate income with a fast growing aerospace connector manufacturing business (Rev Group, Radiall Group UK JV) that is growing at 35 percent annually from defence electronics and commercial aerospace orders. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, highlights that Darjeeling first flush teas selling at Rs 3,000 to 8,000 per kg to Japanese and European specialty tea importers represent the luxury goods segment of Indian agriculture, with no equivalent price premium available in any other Indian agricultural commodity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy
