Chemplast Sanmar Recommences Operations at Puducherry Plant Under Provisional Clearance
What happened
Chemplast Sanmar Limited confirmed the recommencement of operations at its Ethylene-Di-Chloride (EDC) manufacturing plant in Karaikal, Puducherry. The plant had previously experienced an operational disruption that led to prohibition orders from local authorities, including the Inspector of Factories, Puducherry, and the Puducherry Pollution Control Committee (PPCC) in July 2026. After conducting a Root Cause Analysis and a Hazard and Operability study, the company received a provisional revocation of the prohibition order from both the Inspector of Factories, Puducherry, and the PPCC on September 25, 2026. The recommencement of operations remains under review by the PPCC prior to a final revocation order.
