Sanstar Limited has commissioned its expanded native starch manufacturing capacity at its Dhule facility in Maharashtra. The company will increase total installed capacity from 1,100 TPD to 2,350 TPD, more than doubling its output. The entire Rs. 1,816 million allocated from IPO proceeds for the Dhule expansion has been fully utilized. The expansion is being implemented in two phases - native starch capacity has been commissioned now, while the derivatives facility is expected to be commissioned within FY2026-27. The company states it will become India's second-largest maize-based specialty products manufacturer following this expansion. The Dhule facility is strategically located near key maize-growing regions and major ports.
This capacity more than doubling from 1,100 to 2,350 TPD is a major positive for Sanstar, significantly enhancing its production scale, operational efficiency, and ability to serve growing domestic and international demand across food, pharma, and industrial sectors.
