Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals board approved new phosphoric and sulphuric acid plants at its Sikka unit on October 13, 2026. The move supports backward integration and raw material self-sufficiency.

Board-approved capacity additions at Sikka unit

The board has approved two new manufacturing facilities at the Sikka unit in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The planned capacities reflect a significant step toward raw material self-sufficiency in the company's fertilizer operations.

Strategic rationale

The establishment of dedicated phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid plants at Sikka is positioned as a backward integration initiative. Both acids are key inputs in the production of phosphatic fertilizers, and in-house manufacturing capacity is intended to support Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals' broader strategic growth objectives.

The project includes associated offsite and utilities infrastructure. Details required under SEBI Master Circular HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 will be furnished at the time of plant commissioning.
