Godrej Industries Limited’s Chemicals Business has unveiled an ambitious investment plan of over ₹750 crore aimed at scaling up its production capabilities and advancing sustainability goals. The expansion supports the company’s roadmap to become a USD 1 billion global player by 2030.
Key developments include doubling capacities of Fatty Alcohol and Euric Acid by 35,000 and 20,000 tons per annum respectively, tripling its specialities and fermentation capacities, and doubling glycerine production. Primary Surfactants production will also be enhanced by 30,000 tons per annum. Additionally, the company is pushing for 75% renewable energy usage by strengthening its hybrid power infrastructure. Vishal Sharma, CEO & Executive Director, said, “It’s a very exciting time for us. Our investments reflect our deep commitment to green operations and customer-focused innovation across market segments.”
In Guwahati, a growing hub for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agrochemicals, market analysts believe the increased supply of high-quality specialty chemicals and surfactants from Godrej could enhance local manufacturing competitiveness. With demand rising in the Northeast, the expansion is likely to benefit downstream industries seeking sustainable and reliable inputs.
