Aarti Drugs received a Closure Directions letter from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board under the Water Act, 1974, ordering shutdown of its Amines manufacturing plant at Saykha Industrial Estate, Bharuch, effective 15 days from July 18, 2026. The directive follows non-compliances found during a GPCB inspection on June 20. The company says there is no immediate financial or operational impact, is taking corrective steps to get the order revoked, and other manufacturing units remain operational.
