Aarti Industries to Invest ₹250 Crore in Backward Integration After Expanding Global Contract.

Aarti Industries Limited recently announced a material amendment to its existing exclusive long-term supply agreement with an undisclosed global chemical major, strengthening the partnership through a backward integration project worth ₹200–250 crore.

Under the expanded arrangement, the Mumbai-based specialty chemicals manufacturer will establish a new plant at its existing facility in Dahej SEZ to manufacture a key feedstock in-house. The raw material was previously supplied by the customer. The company said the investment will be deployed over the next two years.

The move will transition Aarti Industries towards a more integrated, end-to-end manufacturing model for a high-value specialty chemical intermediate. According to the company, the new facility is expected to reduce operational and freight costs, strengthen supply chain resilience, and improve safety in materials handling.
