Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited ('GFCL' or 'Transferee Company) is engaged in the business of manufacturing and trading of Refrigerants, Fluorochemicals, Fluoropolymers and allied activities and other bulk chemicals. The equity shares of GFCL are listed on nationwide bourses. GFCL is in the process of changing its registered office from the state of Gujarat to Himachal Pradesh.
