  • The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Limited (BBTC) is an Indian trading company based in Mumbai which is owned by the Wadia Group. It was formed in 1863 by the Wallace Brothers of Scotland. It is India's oldest publicly traded company, and was established to engage in the Burmese tea business through the initial step of taking over the Burmese assets of William Wallace. The company's founding occurred when the six Wallace Brothers, originally members of a Scottish merchant house in Edinburgh, first arrived in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1840s. A Bombay partnership was formed in 1848 as "Wallace Bros & Co". In the mid-1850s the Wallaces set up a business in Rangoon, shipping tea to Bombay. In 1863 the business was floated as "The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation". Its equity was held by both Indian merchants along with the Wallace Brothers, who had the controlling interests. By the 1870s the company was a leading producer of teak in Burma and Siam, as well as having interests in cotton, oil exploration and shipping. British motivations for the third Anglo-Burmese War were partly influenced by concerns of the BBTC. The Burmese state's conflict with the BBTC furnished British leaders with a pretext for conquest. By the 1880s Wallace Brothers had become a leading financial house in London. This firm was able to affect the intelligence about Burma and, more critically, about the growing French influence in the country. The Vissanji family purchased the company from the Wallace brothers around the time of Indian independence. In 1992, the BBTC acquired and merged in BCL Springs. Later, BBTC was acquired by the Wadia group based in Bombay. (en)

Deuxième plus ancienne société indienne cotée en bourse, BBTC a été créée pour se lancer dans le commerce du thé birman, lors de la première étape de la reprise des actifs birmans de William Wallace. La fondation de la société a lieu lorsque les six frères Wallace, à l'origine membres d'une maison marchande écossaise à Édimbourg, débarquent à Bombay (aujourd'hui Mumbai) dans les années 1840. Un partenariat de Bombay est formé en 1848 sous le nom de «Wallace Bros & Co». Au milieu des années 1850, les Wallaces créent une entreprise à Rangoon, expédiant du thé à Bombay. En 1863, l'entreprise est lancée sous le nom de «Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation». Ses capitaux propres sont détenus par les deux marchands indiens ainsi que par les Frères Wallace, qui en détiennent le contrôle.
