What do we do with the Gold?

The Gold bought from you via Muthoot Gold Point outlets is sent to a refinery that in turn refines it into 995 Gold bars. The bars are supplied to the domestic market thereby helping the macro objective of reducing India’s over dependence on Gold imports.

History

Muthoot Pappachan Group, more popularly known as Muthoot Blue, takes its name from its family, which is a branch of a traditional Orthodox Christian family, based in Kozhencherry, a small town in the erstwhile primary state of Travancore. (Kerala).

The first steps

In the year 1887, Muthoot Ninan Mathai (Patron Founder of the group), started humbly as a retail and wholesale trader of grains at Kozhencherry. The wholesale goods were supplied to the large Estates owned by British Companies. Later, understanding the unmet saving needs of the estates’ workers, Mr. Ninan Mathai, started the Chit Funds business with an aim to provide philanthropic services and give the workers an avenue for saving. What started as a saving tool for workers soon gained momentum and was floated to other residents of the estates. The business grew slowly but steadily along with its share of ups and downs.

Functioning out of a single office in Kozhencherry, Muthoot Ninan Mathai entered the gold loan business in the 1950s. He soon went on to become the largest player in Chits & Gold Loans. Even today, people from across the state are happy to come to Kozhencherry for gold loans & chits.

The growth of Muthoot Pappachan Group

The Late Muthoot Ninan Mathai had four sons, Ninan Mathew, M. George, M. Mathew and Mathew M. Thomas (Muthoot Pappachan) who were involved in the business from their childhood and later took over the family business. The amicable family partition took place in the year 1979 which led to the Genesis of Muthoot Pappachan Group (MPG), the founder of who was the Late Mathew M Thomas popularly known as Muthoot Pappachan.
