Godrej Industries Plans Rs 7.5 bn Expansion to Boost Chemical Capacity

In a strategic move to achieve its ambition of becoming a $1 billion global player by 2030, Godrej Industries’ chemical business has announced a major capacity expansion across its manufacturing portfolio. The company plans a total capital investment exceeding Rs 750 crore over the coming years to support these expansions, with several projects already underway.

The expansion includes doubling capacities of key products such as Fatty Alcohol and Euric Acid, adding 35,000 and 20,000 tons per annum respectively. Specialities capacity is set to triple with an addition of 21,000 tons per annum, while glycerine capacity will also double, increasing by 24,000 tons per annum.

Fermentation capacity will see a threefold rise with an additional 1,500 tons per annum. Furthermore, Godrej Chemicals aims to increase Primary Surfactants capacity by 30,000 tons per annum. Supporting its commitment to sustainability, the company will enhance its hybrid power capabilities to raise renewable energy usage to 75 per cent.

Vishal Sharma, Executive Director and CEO of Godrej Industries (Chemicals), said, “Our capacity additions align with our long-term aspirations to become a $1 billion global business before 2030. On behalf of our entire team, I thank our customers, suppliers and stakeholders for their great support which is enabling our strong progress year after year.”
