Aarti Industries has successfully commissioned Phase I of its Zone IV project at Jhagadia, Gujarat. Phase I brings together Calcium Chloride, PEDA (2-Phenyl Ethyl Diethyl Aniline) and a part of its Multipurpose Plant (MPP), creating complementary capabilities in downstream integration, diversified end-use applications, and flexible multi-product manufacturing. The platform is designed to support the commercialisation of high-value and niche products, with several products planned from Zone IV expected to be manufactured in India for the first time.
PEDA extends the company’s existing Ethylation platform further downstream, building on the Company’s established 2,6-Diethyl Aniline capabilities and strengthening its participation in value-added products catering primarily to agrochemical applications. The Calcium Chloride facility strengthens the company’s Energy & Additives portfolio, with applications across sectors including oilfield and energy-related markets. The Multipurpose Plant provides a flexible manufacturing platform to scale pilot-validated processes into commercial production across multiple products and advanced chemistries, enabling faster response to evolving customer and market requirements.
With Phase I commissioning now completed, the company’s focus will progressively shift towards commercial qualification, customer approvals and disciplined ramp-up of the newly commissioned assets. Together, these facilities broaden Zone IV’s ability to address a diversified portfolio of applications spanning agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, coatings, polymers and energy & additives, while strengthening the company’s ability to develop and commercialise high-value and niche products.
Aarti Industries (AIL) is a leading Indian manufacturer of speciality chemicals and pharmaceuticals with a global footprint.
