Piramal Pharma Limited's Dahej Plant Faces Closure Order from GPCB
Piramal Pharma Limited's Dahej plant faces a closure order from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board within 48 hours due to alleged water pollution violations. The company plans to challenge the order in the Gujarat High Court, deeming the violations unsubstantiated.
The closure of a plant, even if temporary or contested, will likely have a medium-term impact on operations and supply chain. The financial and operational impact is yet to be ascertained, but the immediate directive is significant.
The company has received a closure order for its Dahej plant, which is a significant negative development impacting operations.
Piramal Pharma Limited (PPL) has received a closure direction notice dated 3rd February, 2026, from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for its plant located in Dahej, Gujarat. The notice directs the closure of operations within 48 hours from receipt, citing alleged violations under Section 33-A of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
GPCB has also mandated the submission of a bank guarantee of ₹15,00,000 with a one-year validity. The company stated that the financial and operational impact of this directive is currently unascertainable.
PPL believes the alleged violations are unsubstantiated and is preparing to file an urgent Writ Petition with the Gujarat High Court seeking expedited intervention to reverse the GPCB's directions. The company reaffirmed its commitment to upholding high environmental compliance standards.
