In March 2016, the company has undertaken a programme to modernize of technology of its existing chlor-alkali facility located in Bharuch, Gujarat and Kota, Rajasthan; and expansion of captive power plant by 55 MW to support expansion of chlor-alkali capacity.

The company’s Bharuch site includes two plants, a 450 TPD chlor-alkali plant and a 55 MW coal based captive power plant to provide steam as well as electricity for the chlor-alkali plant. The new zero-gap technology will be adopted for the chlor-alkali expansion. Bharuch site is 47 ha and located in a 1,700 ha chemical industry park, Jhagadia Industry Estate, developed by Gujarat State in 1994. Both chlor-alkali and power expansions will be built inside existing plant site, which is surrounded by other chemical industries.
