Aarti Drugs Plant Closure Directed by GPCB, Operations to Cease in 15 Days
Aarti Drugs Limited received a closure direction from Gujarat Pollution Control Board for its Bharuch plant, effective 15 days from July 18, 2026. The closure is due to non-compliance with Water Act and CCA conditions. The company is taking corrective measures and expects no immediate financial impact.
While the closure is effective in 15 days and other units remain operational, it impacts a specific manufacturing plant and requires corrective actions, suggesting a medium-term operational and potentially financial impact.
The GPCB has directed the closure of a manufacturing plant, which is a negative event for the company's operations.
Aarti Drugs Limited has received a Closure Directions letter from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) under Section 33A of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. This directive mandates the cessation of manufacturing operations at the company's plant located at Plot No. DP -94 to DP -96, Saykha Industrial Estate, Dist. Bharuch, Gujarat. The closure is effective 15 days from the date of issuance of the letter, July 18, 2026.
The GPCB observed certain non-compliances of the Water Act and Consolidated Consents and Authorization (CCA) conditions during an inspection on June 20, 2026. Consequently, the company has been directed to close its Amines manufacturing operations at the specified plant.
As of the date of the announcement, there is no immediate impact on the company's financial or operational activities, as the closure is effective 15 days from the issuance of the direction. Aarti Drugs Limited is taking appropriate corrective measures to address the GPCB's observations and is in the process of submitting a response to seek revocation of the closure directions. Manufacturing activities at all other units of the company will remain operational. The company will provide further updates to the stock exchanges on any material developments.
