Union Carbide was an American company, that owned 50% of Union Carbide India Limited. The other 50% was owned "by Indian investors including the Government of India and government-controlled banks". The legal case was sent to India, because "UCIL was a separate and independent legal entity managed and staffed by Indian citizens". It's still around today: "Eveready Industries India Ltd. (EIIL), formerly Union Carbide India Limited, is the flagship company of the B. M. Khaitan Group".
