Incorporated on 25 November, 1994 as a Public Limited Company, Omkar Overseas Limited (OOL) was promoted by the Omkar Group. The Company took over Omkar Exports, a partnership Firm which was engaged in the business of exports of fabrics and made ups, with effect from January, 1995. The Company is generally dealing/trading in textile items and various commodities.

OOL purchases grey cloth and gets it processed in the associate group concerns having processing facilities of over 900 lac meter pa. It exports bed sheets and processed fabrics to Sweden, France, Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Germany, etc.
The Company came out with a public issue in December, 1995 to part-finance its expansion programme involving the expansion of its export activities by augmenting the resources for working capital finance; by strengthening the infrastructure facilities for better liaison with foreign clients by opening display centre at Bombay and by enhancing stitching facilities for better quality maintenance and value addition.
The Company was performing perfectly well till 2010, until the recession hit overall economy in the country and outside. Since then, the business of the Company had been negligible and the management of the Company is struggling to stabilize the business. The management has recently gone for the alteration of object clause so as to include activities relating to manufacturing of oil from groundnut, linseed, cotton seeds, rapeseeds, castor seeds, mustard seeds and other oil seeds, rice bran and other oil cakes, oil extraction by crushing by chemicals or any other processed cake and oil manufacturers, oil refiners, manufacturers of hydrogenated oil and all allied products.
