The F.E Dinshaw Commercial & Financial Reference Library was established in 1967, as part of the Diamond Jubliee Celebrations of the Indian Merchants' Chamber. The library was set up to perpetuate the memory of Shri. F.E Dinshaw, a leading industrialist who made a very valuable contribution to the development of steel and cement industries of India.
The F.E. Dinshaw Memorial Trust finances the library. The main purpose of the Library is to provide selective and up to date source materials on major economic, commercial and other developments in India and abroad. These can be made available for reference, to the users who need such information. Therefore, the library caters not only to the members of the Indian Merchants' Chamber, but also to the business community, students and the public at large.
Institutional members of the IMC can utilise the library facilities free of charge. For others, library access is on payment as decided by the management of IMC from time to time. In keeping with the major objective of the library, i.e. to function as a commercial reference library, it has a collection of books, journals, newspapers, reports, directories, pamphlets etc. covering major subject areas of commerce, economics and management, and also some general materials.
The library has been recently been re-organized on modern lines, and has introduced computerization, to help users to find required information with speed and accuracy. The library also provides in-house photocopying facilities.
