As part of this partnership, the companies will establish a state-of-the-art, jacketed underground chlorine pipeline between their plants. Designed with precision engineering, the pipeline ensures safety, reliability, and environmental protection. Once fully operational, AIL is expected to purchase an additional 200 tonnes of chlorine per day in steady state over-and-above the existing 150 tonnes per day being purchased currently by AIL from DCM Shriram Chemicals.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Sabaleel Nandy, ED and CEO, DCM Shriram Chemicals, said: “This agreement is a milestone in strengthening the deep trust and collaboration between DCM Shriram Ltd and Aarti Industries. By committing long-term chlorine supply through world-class infrastructure, we are reinforcing our leadership in safe, sustainable, and reliable chemical integration.
