Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) is planning to set up a petrochemical complex in Dahej (Gujarat) with an estimated investment of Rs 8000-10000 crore. “The company is contemplating to set up the petrochemical complex at Dahej with an estimated capital outlay between Rs 8000 to 10000 Crores.
