DCM Shriram commissions new glycerine-based ECH plant

DCM Shriram Limited has commissioned its Epichlorohydrin (ECH) plant with a capacity of 35,000 TPA at its Chemical complex in Jhagadia, Bharuch Dist., Gujarat, on October 14, 2025. This commissioning aligns with Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The remaining capacity of 17,000 TPA is expected to be commissioned shortly.

The ECH plant is a crucial link between the company’s Chlor-alkali business and advanced materials vertical. ECH serves as a chlorine-downstream product and a key raw material for producing liquid epoxy resins.

Notably, this state-of-the-art plant employs European technology and utilizes glycerine, a by-product of bio-diesel production, as its raw material, making it a greener alternative compared to plants that use propylene.
