Tata Chemicals Limited, a leading Indian chemical company with a strong presence across basic chemistry, consumer products, and speciality solutions, has approved a significant investment proposal aimed at expanding its manufacturing capabilities and strengthening its operational presence in South India.
The Board of Directors of the Company have approved investment of ₹515 crore for setting up a greenfield manufacturing facility for 210 Kilo Tons Per Annum (KTPA) Iodised Vacuum Salt Dried (IVSD) capacity at Valinokkam, Ramnathapuram district in the State of Tamil Nadu.
Tata Chemicals Limited, part of the Tata Group, has a diversified portfolio spanning basic chemistry products, consumer salt brands, and advanced material solutions, serving both domestic and international markets.
As part of its long-term growth strategy, the company plans to establish a new greenfield manufacturing facility in Valinokkam, Tamil Nadu, with an annual IVSD capacity of 210 KTPA.
The project involves a total investment of ₹ 515 crore and is expected to be completed within 36 months. The financing structure will comprise internal accruals and external financing, allowing the company to balance growth ambitions with financial prudence.
The Company currently has a IVSD manufacturing capacity of 1.6 million tonnes per annum at its Mithapur (Gujarat) Plant. This investment is intended to create a second manufacturing site for IVSD at South India and create higher efficiency in supply chain and optimize logistic costs.
