Shivtek to Invest Rs 6.5 Billion in New Chemical Plants

Shivtek Spechemi Industries Ltd, a speciality chemicals manufacturer, has announced an investment of Rs 6.5 billion to set up two new manufacturing plants in Gujarat and Rajasthan, significantly expanding its production capacity and strengthening India’s position in the global chemical supply chain.

The Gujarat facility will be located near Hazira port, enabling efficient logistics and market connectivity, while the Rajasthan unit will be strategically placed close to key northern distribution hubs, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

With these additions, Shivtek’s total annual production capacity is set to quadruple — from the current 1,50,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 6,50,000 MTPA. The expansion is also expected to generate over 500 jobs within three years, contributing to regional employment and industrial growth.

Currently, Shivtek operates three manufacturing plants:

Dahej, Gujarat – 1,12,800 MTPA

Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh – 22,800 MTPA

Rajpura, Punjab – 14,400 MTPA

The new plants will collectively span across 100 acres, with construction set to begin in 2026 and production scheduled between 2028 and 2029.

“These new plants will enable us to serve a broader market with greater efficiency while setting new benchmarks for environmentally responsible manufacturing in the industry,” said Amitt Nenwani, Managing Director of Shivtek Spechemi Industries.

Importantly, the company also revealed that the new units will pioneer the production of high-grade chlorinated compounds in India — a first in the country — aiding import substitution and boosting India’s chemical export capabilities.

This investment marks a major step forward for Shivtek in scaling operations while aligning with national goals of industrial self-reliance and sustainable manufacturing.
