Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals (GACL), a city-based State Government undertaking, has commissioned a project to manufacture 15,000 TPA stable bleaching powder at Dahej near here.
The unit will convert chlorine into value-added products.
"This is the first large scale plant of stable bleaching powder in Gujarat. The project will help increase captive use of chlorine and sustain the operation of the company's caustic soda plant," a GACL spokesman told PTI.
