What was commissioned
The company informed the exchanges that two plants have been commissioned near its existing Caustic Soda facilities in Jhagadia on 30th September 2026 at 12 noon.
- Aluminium Chloride Plant: capacity 100 TPD commissioned and ramping up as per market requirements. Total Aluminium Chloride capacity of the company now 250 TPD.
- Calcium Chloride Plant: has 2 lines, of which 1 line has been commissioned with capacity 133 TPD. The company says the product quality has been well accepted in the market. The 2nd line of similar capacity is expected to be commissioned in October 2026.
Why chlorine matters here
Aluminium chloride uses chlorine directly as a raw material, while calcium chloride uses hydrochloric acid, which is itself produced from chlorine. Caustic soda manufacturing produces chlorine as a co-product, so consuming it in-house reduces dependence on selling chlorine in the open market.
The company describes these plants together as strategic downstream integration of chlorine, enhancing the flexibility and resilience of the overall Chemical business.
How investors may read it
This is an operational update on capacity addition in the Chemicals segment. TPD means tonnes per day of installed capacity. Actual contribution will depend on ramp-up and market demand for these products.
