Stalwart Advance Material Industries has proposed an expansion of its existing non-EC synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing facility located at Plot No. 13, Old GIDC, Gundlav, Taluka & District Valsad, Gujarat, on a total land area of 0.2132 hectares, entirely non-forest land, with no additional land being acquired for the expansion. The existing unit, operational since 2022 under a valid Consent to Operate from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (valid up to 31.05.2027), currently produces 500 MT/month of non-EC products; under the proposed expansion, non-EC product capacity will rise to 1,150 MT/month, while new EC products — dye-fixing agent (50 MT/month), polyacrylic acid (50 MT/month) and stearamide (100 MT/month) — will be introduced, together corresponding to a scheduled item capacity of 16,200 TPA under the synthetic organic chemicals industry category (Item 5(f) of the EIA Notification, 2006). The total project cost is estimated at ₹550 lakh (₹311 lakh existing plus ₹239 lakh for the proposed expansion). The expansion is expected to generate about 10 permanent and 5 temporary construction-phase jobs over roughly 150 days, and raise operational-phase permanent employment from 5 to 10 (plus 10 temporary/contractual jobs), reflecting a modest scale-up. Typical equipment scope for such a synthetic organic/specialty chemicals expansion would include additional reactor vessels, agitators, chemical storage and dosing systems, effluent treatment upgrades, drying and packaging units, and utility augmentation (boilers, cooling towers) to support the new product lines. The proposal, filed as a Fresh ToR application (Category B1) with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, is currently under examination, with no QCI/NABET-accredited EIA consultant yet engaged (to be appointed after grant of ToR); no forest land, protected areas, eco-sensitive zones, or litigation issues are associated with the site.
