 Headquartered in Delhi, the Company operates four formulation plants and two active ingredient plants across India and is in the process of installing a third active ingredient plant in Dahej, India.

This is a Category A project as per IFC’s Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability as the company's business operations have the potential to cause significant adverse E&S risks and/or impacts that are diverse, irreversible, or unprecedented. Specifically, any catastrophic failure event in handling and storage of hazardous chemicals such as chlorine and bromine proposed at Nagpur and Dahej facilities respectively, could have potentially irreversible or unprecedented impact on neighborhood village communities that are located within the impact zone.

Company’s management capacity to assess and avoid the risks and impacts on neighborhood communities due to onsite storage and handling of multiple hazardous and toxic chemicals as raw materials; (f) life and fire safety infrastructure and onsite & off-site emergency preparedness and response systems; (g) community health, safety and security including exposure to catastrophic accidents, instituting effective stakeholder engagement and community grievance redress mechanism; (h) cumulative impacts; and (i) pollution issues such as potential contamination risks in older plants (e.g Nathupur and Nagpur) that are in operation for more than a decade.
