Aarti Industries Innovates: Specialty Chemicals Unit Blooms in Gujarat

Aarti Industries Ltd. is undertaking a significant endeavor with the construction of a new manufacturing facility for specialty and intermediates chemicals in Jhagadia, Bharuch district, Gujarat, India. With an impressive project cost of ₹1414 Crore (approximately $180 million), this initiative underscores the company's commitment to expanding its chemical production capabilities.

The new facility will cater to the production of various essential chemicals, including pharma intermediates, agrochemicals intermediates, dyes & pigments intermediates, performance chemicals, and fine chemicals.

The company's proactive approach to community engagement, including the establishment of a grievance redressal mechanism, underscores its commitment to responsible and inclusive development practices.
