08 Aug 2025 CW Team

The expansion underscores Sigachi’s long-term focus on operational resilience, enhanced safety standards, and global leadership in the excipient industry. It comes even as the company continues to cooperate with the investigation into the recent tragedy at its Pashamylaram unit.

The Dahej MCC project highlights Sigachi’s commitment to rebuild stronger, with globally benchmarked safety features and intelligent systems aimed at ensuring uninterrupted supply to its international clientele.

Key elements of the expansion strategy include the deployment of a new spray dryer system, designed in collaboration with reputed equipment manufacturers and safety consultants. Once complete, the company’s total MCC capacity will increase to 30,000 MTPA, reinforcing its position as India’s largest and one of the world’s leading MCC manufacturers.

This added capacity at Dahej SEZ, combined with enhanced production at Sigachi’s Jhagadia and existing Dahej units, will ensure robust business continuity and fulfilment of customer commitments worldwide.

Amit Raj Sinha, Managing Director and CEO of Sigachi Industries, commented, “The incident at Pashamylaram was a moment of deep sorrow. Yet, Sigachi stands tall—resolute in our values, committed to learning, and determined to build back stronger. This new capacity at Dahej is a testament to that spirit. It is not just about volumes, but about creating the safest and most reliable excipient manufacturing ecosystem in the world.”

Sigachi has also extended heartfelt appreciation to its global customer base across more than 65 countries. The company acknowledged the solidarity and support received during the challenging period, along with the continued contributions of its supply chain partners, equipment vendors, and domain experts. Their involvement is helping Sigachi rebuild its systems with world-class safety and operational standards.
