Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited informed that the Board of Directors of the company, at its Meeting held on November 7, 2019, has approved the expansion of existing Caustic Soda Plant at Dahej Complex from 785 MTPD to 1,310 MTPD (from 1,200 MTPD earlier approved).

Therefore, the estimated Project Cost considering the above upward expansion and installation of 65 MW of Coal based Power Plant at Dahej Complex would be INR 8,750 million. The Project, when implemented, will contribute approximately INR 4,800 million in Sales of the company at the prevailing market prices.
