Aarti Drugs' Sayakha Plant Operations Resumed; GPCB Levies ₹10.2 Lakhs Compensation
Aarti Drugs' Sayakha plant operations will continue after GPCB revoked closure directions. The company has paid an interim Environmental Damage Compensation of ₹10.2 Lakhs. No financial or operational impact is expected.
The company explicitly stated that there is no impact on financial, operational, or other activities. The compensation amount is relatively small and has already been paid.
While the revocation of closure directions is positive, the imposition of compensation and the initial non-compliance issues prevent a strongly positive sentiment. The company states no financial impact, making it neutral.
Aarti Drugs Limited has announced the revocation of closure directions issued by the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for its plant located at Sayakha. The GPCB has accepted the company's application for revocation, allowing operations to continue.
Concurrently, the GPCB has imposed an interim Environmental Damage Compensation (EDC) of ₹10,20,000 (Rupees Ten Lakhs Twenty Thousand) under the "Polluter Pays" Principle. This compensation is an interim measure in accordance with the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) guidelines.
The closure directions were initially issued under Section 33A of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, following an inspection on June 20, 2026, which identified non-compliances with Water Act and Consolidated Consents and Authorization (CCA) conditions. The company has already deposited the interim EDC amount.
Aarti Drugs stated that there is no impact on its financial, operational, or other activities due to this development. The company is implementing corrective and preventive measures to ensure future compliance.
