Paradeep Phosphates Limited has successfully commissioned its 300 tonnes per day (TPD) Sulphuric Acid Plant at its Mangalore unit, with commercial production commencing from March 31, 2026.
This new plant significantly enhances the company's captive sulphuric acid production capacity from an existing 100 TPD to a revised overall capacity of 400 TPD. The project involved a total expenditure of approximately ₹240 Crores, financed through internal accruals and term loans.
The commissioning is expected to ensure a reliable supply of a key raw material for fertilizer manufacturing, reduce import dependence, and improve operational efficiency. Furthermore, the plant will generate around 1,05,000 tonnes of high-pressure steam annually from process waste heat, replacing fossil fuel-based steam generation and contributing to a reduction of 19,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This initiative aligns with the company's sustainability goals by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing its carbon footprint, while also improving cost efficiency and operating margins.
