Godrej Enterprises Group will invest an additional Rs 200 crore to expand its manufacturing facility in Dahej, Gujarat. The expansion is aimed at strengthening the process of equipment manufacturing. The company had earlier infused Rs 300 crore in the manufacturing plant.

The Phase-III expansion will focus on increasing the annual manufacturing capacity to approximately 30,000 MT with an increase in production space, the development of dust-free enclosure for manufacturing exotic materials, dedicated bays for internals manufacturing, and the development of extended manufacturing yards. Seventy per cent of the production from the facility is exported to over 40 countries across six continents, with a strong focus on the Americas and the Middle East.

It aims to develop capability and capacity in manufacturing high-end and critical process equipment including for sectors like hydrogen, nuclear, and geothermal energy along with refinery and petrochemicals projects. The facility will feature an additional extended fabrication yard and advanced heat treatment furnace and will also feature a sea-going jetty, enabling direct loading and transportation of over-dimensional equipment to international markets.

“As the demand for specialised process equipment in the clean energy sector continues to grow, manufacturers must evolve to meet these complex requirements. This strategic expansion of our Dahej facility demonstrates our commitment to leading this evolution,” Executive Vice President & Business Head of the Process Equipment business of Godrej Enterprises Group, Hussain Shariyarr said.
