Indian Peroxide to develop 400 TPD caustic soda plant at Dahej

Nuberg EPC appointed as PMC and EPC contractor, bringing global chlor-alkali and green energy expertise

Indian Peroxide Limited (IPL) is constructing a new 400 TPD chlor-alkali plant at its Dahej SEZ complex in Gujarat, using advanced Japanese process technology. The facility, scheduled for commissioning by October 2026, reinforces IPL's forward integration strategy and complements its existing 300 TPD hydrogen peroxide plant. Engineered for potential scalability to 800 TPD, the project aims to create a fully integrated chemical manufacturing platform and secure domestic supply.

This expansion leverages IPL's established 300 TPD hydrogen peroxide manufacturing base at Dahej, which utilizes advanced Swedish process technology. The company, known for its FSSAI-approved, BIS- and ISO-certified facilities, is a leading speciality-grade hydrogen peroxide manufacturer, exporting products globally to sectors including FMCG, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

The addition of the caustic soda plant facilitates IPL's strategic entry into the chlor-alkali value chain, achieving deeper integration. A key benefit of the new plant is the on-site utilization of hydrogen by-product to feed the hydrogen peroxide production.

Speaking on the strategic significance of the project, Amit Tyagi, Managing Director, Indian Peroxide Limited, said, “This is not merely a capacity addition; it is a strategic investment in the future architecture of India’s chemical manufacturing ecosystem. At Dahej, we are building an integrated chlor-alkali and hydrogen platform designed for scale, operational resilience and decarbonisation. The project strengthens IPL’s global competitiveness, enables deeper participation in the clean-energy transition, and positions us to deliver world-class chemical products in a carbon-constrained environment. We see this as a long-term strategic asset—engineered for the decades ahead.”

For project execution, Indian Peroxide has appointed Nuberg EPC, a global EPC and turnkey project management company, as Project Management Consultant (PMC) and EPC contractor, with end-to-end responsibility for engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
