East India Companies also prominent for spices, cotton and other raw materials . But, Also indulge in Forging and flanges on industrial products for aerospace, defense, oil and petroleum, food machines and machine industries. CHW Forge, Bharat Forging, TATa forging have been serving the services since the independence and improving as per the time. Thus, they established their base in subcontinent. Secondly, EIC feared that the french or the Portuguese would initiate trade in India and would have the monopoly over trade in a subcontinent. The Dutch had already achieved monopoly over trade in East Indies so as an alternative, the EIC turned to India. Finally, the decline of Mughal empire gave them a chance to take over subcontinent's wealth, thus they were interested in India.

What was east India company and how was it involved in the politic of the sub-continent?

The East India Company was a British joint-stock company with a royal charter that participated in international trade within the world-spanning British Empire. The Company was actively involved in the Indian subcontinent, particularly due to its lucrative trade resources. The EIC established some of the first British trade ports in India and eventually gained control of a large portion of the country. It was able to do so primarily through aligning with the Hindu raj (royalty) of India against the dying Muslim Mughal Empire. After becoming such a great power on the subcontinent, the EIC played a very important role in the politics of both India and the British Parliament, essentially buying their influence and way into power to improve and protect profit.
