Shivam Chemicals Commences Phase I Feed-Grade DCP Production at Dahej Facility
Shivam Chemicals has announced the commercial commencement of Feed-Grade Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) production under Phase I at the Dahej, Gujarat facility of its subsidiary, Shivam Chemicals & Minerals Private Limited. The company previously distributed feed phosphate and is now backward integrating into in-house manufacturing.

Specific capital expenditure and newly added DCP production capacities were not disclosed in the filing.
