About Us
A Legacy Brewed Over Six Decades
D. Dayalbhai & Company was founded in 1957 by the late Shri Pranlal D. Vora, who traveled from Mumbai to Kolkata to build a trusted name in the Indian tea trade. Nearly seven decades and three generations later, that founding commitment to quality, integrity, and personal service remains the foundation of everything we do.
Today, we operate as one of India’s established tea commission agents and auction buyers, with an active presence at all three major auction centers. Our operations span both auction procurement and direct estate sourcing, giving clients access to the full breadth of Indian tea from premium Darjeeling estate lots to high-volume Assam CTC.
At the heart of the company is a family that has spent three generations learning the market, building relationships, and earning the trust of buyers and traders across India and beyond.

Our Services
What We Do
End-to-end tea procurement and commission agency services delivered with six decades of expertise and personal accountability.
Tea Auction Buying & Commission Agency
We attend auctions across Kolkata, Siliguri, and Guwahati as your appointed commission agent, tasting lots, bidding strategically, and purchasing on your behalf at the best available prices.
Bulk Tea Procurement
For buyers with large and continuous supply requirements, we manage structured procurement programs across auction cycles and private channels, ensuring consistent volume, grade, and quality.
Private Tea Procurement
When specific estates, specialty grades, or off-season supply are needed outside the auction, we source directly from gardens and private sellers through a network built over six decades
