“Our reputation is for quality. We don’t work on credit.”

Starting its journey 5 year ago in an humble way from the ceramic cluster of Gujarat’s Morbi, MP Corporation has now emerged as one of the largest importers of Indonesian coal, the most preferred source of coal for domestic users in India.

Its founder Matang Patel is the proverbial ‘dropout’ who made big.

Patel, who always excelled in studies, left his pursuit for a PhD degree to begin his journey as an entrepreneur when the opportunities in coal imports struck him.

Today, MP Corp is now catering to the needs of more than 1,200 customers, importing shipments from Indonesia to 5 major ports – Navalakhi, Kandla, Bhavnagar, Tuna and Mundra Port.

Coal Insights’ Sumit Maitra traveled to Rajkot to meet Matang Patel, Chairman and Director of MP Corp to know his journey and his rise and about his future plans.
