Sanstar Commissions Expanded Native Starch Capacity at Dhule

14 May 2026 CW Team

The expansion has been implemented in two phases with the native starch capacity now operational and the derivatives facility expected to be commissioned within FY2026-27. The company reports that it has scaled its installed crushing capacity to 1,250 TPD from the original plan of 1,000 TPD at the time of the IPO, demonstrating execution capability and operational improvement. The Shirpur plant is described as set to become one of the largest single-location operating plants in India once the programme is complete.

The Dhule facility, located close to major maize-growing regions and key port corridors, is said to provide logistical advantages that will support efficient raw material sourcing and export activity. Management indicates the expanded capacity should yield improved operational efficiencies and scale benefits, enhancing the company's ability to meet growing demand across domestic and international markets. The forthcoming derivatives line is expected to broaden the product mix towards higher value-added offerings.

Sanstar is headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and produces a range of maize-based specialty products including native starch, modified starch and derivatives for food, animal nutrition, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. The company states that its combined capacity now stands at 2,350 TPD and that the expansion positions it to strengthen customer relationships and pursue sustainable long-term growth. Investors and stakeholders are directed to the company website for further information.
