Setco Automotive Limited has received a significant intimation regarding its subsidiary, Setco Auto Systems Private Limited. The Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) issued a letter on March 10, 2026, directing the closure of one of the subsidiary's manufacturing units located at Kalol, District Panchmahal, Gujarat.
This directive, issued under Section 33A of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, also mandates the disconnection of electricity supply to the unit, with the exception of single-phase supply, and the stoppage of alleged wastewater discharge near the catchment area of River Goma.
