Sigachi Industries Limited, a leading name in pharmaceutical excipients and specialty ingredients, has begun civil works for a major capacity expansion at its Dahej SEZ unit in Gujarat.
The company has recently informed exchanges that it is establishing a new 12,000 MTPA Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) facility as part of its ongoing commitment to scale operations, with a focus on safety, quality, and global leadership. This move marks an important step forward in strengthening operational resilience, especially as Sigachi continues to recover from the recent incident at its Pashamylaram unit, which remains under investigation.
Despite the setback, the company is pushing ahead with a strong vision. The upcoming facility at Dahej is being developed with advanced safety systems and equipment sourced in collaboration with top-tier manufacturers and safety consultants. Once completed in the next nine months, the project will boost Sigachi’s total MCC capacity to 30,000 MTPA, making it the largest manufacturer of MCC in India and one of the top players globally.
With ongoing enhancements at its Jhagadia and existing Dahej units, Sigachi is ensuring consistent supply to its global customers, underscoring its focus on business continuity and industry excellence.
