The Chemical Division of Godrej Industries Limited has announced that the Company has signed a Nonbinding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Gujarat, the company said last week in an exchange filing.

As part of the MoU, the Company may plan to invest Rs 600 crore over the next four-years on the significant expansion in Valia with employment of around 250. The signing, held in the presence of CM Bhupendra Patel, solidifies the commitment to Gujarat’s industrial growth and skilled workforce.

The MoU sets the stage for expansion in Valia where Godrej Industries already has a manufacturing facility. Situated in Gujarat's Bharuch district, this facility manufactures diverse oleo chemical products derived from organic materials. These products serve multiple market segments such as personal care, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.

Vishal Sharma, CEO of Godrej Industries (Chemicals) said, “This strategic collaboration underscores our commitment to growth, innovation, and contributing to the economic development of the region. Gujarat has always been a beacon of progress and a business-friendly destination, and we are confident that our investment will not only enhance our operational capabilities but also create significant employment opportunities and foster economic prosperity.”
