GACL has flagged off the first consignments of Benzyl Alcohol (BOH) and Benzaldehyde (BCHO) from its newly commissioned 30,000 TPA Chlorotoluenes Plant at Dahej on July 5, 2025. This follows the first dispatch of Benzyl Chloride (BCL) on April 21, 2025, completing the start-up of all three products from the Rs. 350 crore plant, which was virtually inaugurated by the Gujarat Chief Minister in March 2025. The facility will produce 13,200 MTPA of BCL, 9,600 MTPA of BOH, and 7,200 MTPA of BCHO, serving pharma, perfumery, agrochemicals, dyes, and solvent industries. At full capacity, the plant is projected to generate annual revenues of around Rs. 400 crores, including export earnings of about Rs. 130 crores from Europe, USA, and South Asia, and create 150-200 direct plus 800-1000 indirect jobs.

Likely market impact

Positive milestone confirming the new plant is commercially operational across all three product lines, which should add meaningful revenue and improve caustic soda unit economics by consuming captive chlorine. The ~Rs. 130 crore export earnings potential provides a hard-currency revenue stream that could support margins and growth visibility.
