Tata Chemicals Invests ₹515 Cr in New Tamil Nadu Salt Plant

Tata Chemicals Limited has announced a substantial investment of ₹515 crore to construct a new greenfield manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. This expansion project, located in Valinokkam, Ramanathapuram district, is designed to boost the company's iodised vacuum salt dried (IVSD) production capacity.

The new plant will have an installed capacity of 210 kilo tonnes per annum and is expected to be operational within 36 months. This strategic investment aligns with Tata Chemicals' objective to strengthen its core businesses and diversify its production base.

The facility's location aims to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce logistics costs by situating production closer to major southern markets. This will enable quicker distribution and enhanced operational efficiency for the company's salt business.

This expansion is part of Tata Chemicals' long-term growth strategy, focusing on building resilient manufacturing infrastructure and meeting regional demand. The investment also signifies a commitment to regional industrial development in South India.
