In a significant move for Gujarat’s economic advancement, GHCL Limited, a foremost player in India’s chemical industry, inked two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. These agreements, valued at a whopping Rs 3,450 crores, signify a major boost for the state’s industrial sector.

The ceremony, graced by Chief Minister of Gujarat, Bhupendra Patel, and his Senior Ministers, marked a milestone for GHCL Limited’s expansion initiatives. The first MOU, involving an investment of Rs 2500 Crores in the Kutch district, aims at the second phase expansion of the Greenfield Soda Ash plant alongside establishing a new Vacuum Salt plant. This strategic move is not just an industrial leap but also a major job creator, expected to offer direct and indirect employment opportunities to over 10,000 individuals.

Further, GHCL’s commitment to Gujarat’s growth extends to a Rs 950 Crore investment in the Saurashtra region’s Bhavnagar for mining activities. This project focuses on extracting Bentonite and Sand, crucial raw materials for diverse industries including fertilizers, foundries, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Sand extraction, in particular, will cater to the burgeoning demands of the construction industry.

Highlighting GHCL’s operational excellence, the Khadsaliya Lignite mines in Bhavnagar recently garnered a “5-Star rating” from the Ministry of Coal, Government of India. This accolade, a first for a lignite mine in Gujarat, underscores the company’s commitment to sustainable and efficient mining practices.

R S Jalan, Managing Director of GHCL, emphasized the significance of Gujarat in their growth plans. “The state of Gujarat holds a special place in our hearts and we are proud to support its vision of progress and prosperity. Our investments in the state will continue to make way for greater employment and growth and be a part of the vision of creating an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’,” he stated.

With these projects, GHCL Limited is poised to significantly boost Gujarat’s industrial landscape. These investments not only reaffirm the company’s dedication to sustainable growth but also align with India’s broader vision of self-reliance and economic prosperity. The successful implementation of these projects is expected to elevate GHCL’s stature as a top-tier leader in the industry.
