Mumbai: Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Limited (GACL) on Tuesday said it has planned a string of expansion and new projects for caustic soda and other products entailing an investment of Rs 3,500 crore.
The expansion projects involve investment of Rs 3,500 crore for augmenting the existing capacities of caustic soda, chloromethane, and phosphoric acid, besides caustic potash at its Dahej plant.
The caustic soda capacity is being expanded by 1,200 tonne per day (TPD), that of chloromethane by 600 TPD, phosphoric acid by 300 TPD and the caustic potash to 120 TPD, a company statement said.
