The company is expanding its dyes & intermediates manufacturing capacity from 2,200 metric tonne per month (MTPM) to 6,000 MTPM, and set up a co-generation power plant (5MW) in Gujarat.
Bhavin Patel, executive director, Bodal Chemicals, said, “With this approval in place, company is in a position to plan to enhance its dyestuff manufacturing capacity at very low capital cost compare to cost of green field project or cost required for commencement of new plant in this sector.
