The Chairman and Directors of the Board are appointed by the Government, with the Chairman serving as the chief executive, entrusted with the management of the organization.

To ensure efficient operations, the Chairman delegates authority to the Board of Directors, secretaries, department heads, and factory heads, under the oversight of the management board. The Corporation is governed by a Board of Directors comprising a Chairman and 5 Directors appointed by the Government. Each factory operates under a separate Enterprise Board or Company Board, with a representative from the Ministry of Industry appointed as a Director.

The day-to-day operations of each factory are overseen by managing directors, guided by their respective Enterprise Boards. The organization's journey began with the succession of 88 institutions, later expanding with the establishment of 6 new factories and the transfer of 3 factories from other companies under BCIC's control.Due to the government's foreignization policy, a significant number of industrial establishments were withdrawn, handed over to former owners or Mukti Jodha Kalyan Trust, or closed by government decision. Currently, BCIC oversees 13 industrial establishments directly and operates 9 more on a partnership basis.

BCIC's product portfolio includes fertilizer, cement, paper, glass sheet, hardboard, sanitary ware, and insulators, with chemical fertilizers constituting 80% of its output. Notably, since 1996-97, BCIC has been entrusted with the critical task of distributing fertilizers nationwide to ensure food security, a responsibility it fulfills with confidence and success.
