Shivam Chemicals Limited has commenced Phase I production of Feed-Grade Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) at its subsidiary’s manufacturing unit in Dahej, Gujarat. This move adds in-house manufacturing capabilities to the group's existing distribution network.
The production is undertaken by the wholly owned subsidiary, Shivam Chemicals & Minerals Private Limited. The initiative strategically expands the company's established presence in the feed phosphate business by integrating manufacturing with its current sales and distribution platform.
Integration with existing operations
The new DCP capability complements the group's existing Hydrated Lime manufacturing operations. These operations have an installed production capacity of approximately 5,000 MT per month. Dicalcium Phosphate serves as a critical source of phosphorus and calcium for animal nutrition and feed formulations.
By bringing DCP production in-house, the company aims to progressively strengthen its participation across the entire feed phosphate value chain. This development aligns with the broader corporate strategy of strengthening existing businesses through manufacturing integration and broadening the product portfolio.
Strategic expansion and future outlook
The Dahej facility represents Phase I of a planned development for the feed phosphate manufacturing business. It establishes a platform for further expansion in this segment. The company intends to increase its presence in value-added products through this vertical integration.
