The P9 facility at Manjusar, close to Vadodara, Gujarat, has successfully started up commercial production for Chemcon Speciality Chemicals Ltd. At the P9 facility, the corporation has increased the capacity of bromo benzene by 2,400 MTPA. The business is also considering adding the pharmaceutical ingredient guanine to the same plant.
With a 10 crore rupee investment, the business launched a nearly 2.1 MW solar power facility in Dabhoi, Vadodara. Captive use of this solar power facility will lessen reliance on non-renewable sources of electricity.
Commenting on the product addition, Kamal Aggarwal, Chairman & MD said, “This is a significant achievement for the company as we have added a new product which will cater to the Agro-Chemical market across the globe. We already have a reasonable presence in Inorganic bromides through calcium Bromides, Zinc Bromides and Sodium Bromides. With the expansion of Bromo Benzene, we will be adding Organic Bromides in our product basket.”
