Rallis India to expand herbicide capacity

Rallis India Ltd’s Board of Directors, in their meeting on January 23, 2024, greenlit the expansion plan for the Pendimethalin Plant located at the Dahej SEZ unit. 

The proposed augmentation, slated to increase the capacity by approximately 2000 MT/Annum, entails an investment of around Rs. 150 million, to be sourced from internal accruals. Presently, the plant operates at 90% capacity utilization with an existing capacity of about 5000 MT/Annum. 

The expansion project is set to unfold in a phased manner, with completion expected by FY 25. Upon fruition, the augmented capacity will not only cater to the burgeoning sales demand in both domestic and international markets but also fortify the company’s position in the chemical industry landscape.
