Green Light, Go Big: Tata Chemicals' ₹910 Cr Dual Capacity Boost

Tata Chemicals’ board has cleared two major capacity-expansion projects worth a total of ₹910 crore.

The first project, involving an investment of ₹135 crore, will expand soda ash production at the company’s Mithapur facility in Gujarat by 350 KTPA to meet growing demand from sustainability-focused applications. The plant currently operates at around 90% capacity.

The second project entails a ₹775 crore investment to increase precipitated silica production at the Cuddalore plant in Tamil Nadu by 50 KTPA, supporting the needs of the rubber and automotive tire sectors. This facility is currently running at 88% capacity. Both expansions are expected to be completed within 24 months.

Tata Chemicals continues to maintain a strong position across the glass, detergent, industrial, and chemical markets, while its subsidiary Rallis India enhances its foothold in crop protection solutions.
