Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals (GACL) has flagged off the first lot of Hydrazine Hydrate (80%) and Purified Phosphoric Acid (85%) on July 8, 2023. Currently, India is importing Hydrazine Hydrate from Europe and other countries. Hydrazine Hydrate as an import substitute product with world-class quality will help in reducing the country's dependency on imports, thereby saving valuable foreign exchange. GACL and CSIR-IICT, Hyderabad, have jointly received patents from India and the USA for the indigenous process to manufacture Hydrazine Hydrate (H6N2O).
On the other hand, India has very few manufacturers of Purified Phosphoric Acid and to meet its total demand the country imports around 35,000 MTA Purified Phosphoric Acid, annually. Purified Phosphoric Acid has applications in various industries such as Sugar Refining, Edible Oil Refining, Beverages, and Pharmaceuticals etc. To reduce the nation's dependence on imports of this chemical, GACL has established a Purified Phosphoric Acid plant having a capacity of 33,870 MTA at Dahej.
With this flag-off, GACL has reinforced its commitment to strengthening India's quest for Make in India and to become 'Atmanirbhar Bharat.'
Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals is engaged in business of manufacturing basic chemicals such as sodium cyanide, sodium ferrocyanide, chloromethanes, hydrochloric acid, caustic potash, potassium carbonate, phosphoric acid (85%) and hydrogen peroxide.
