The facility will be located at Dahej, Gujarat, and will be funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt. The supplies are expected to commence from Q4 of FY22.
Radhesh Welling, Managing Director, Navin Fluorine, said the contract, the company’s largest, will enable it to become the leader in the production and delivery of high-performance products within the fluorochemicals space. The agreement will help it further expand its product portfolio, he added.
