Neogen Chemicals: GPCB Revokes Fire Incident Directions, Grants CC&A Amendment

Neogen Chemicals Ltd has received an order from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) revoking earlier directions issued following a fire incident at its Dahej SEZ facility on March 5, 2025. The GPCB has also granted a provisional consent to operate (CC&A) amendment for an industrial plant at Dahej SEZ, valid until March 19, 2030. The original directions, issued on April 22, 2025, had restricted the utilization of the affected plant and imposed an Environment Damage Compensation cost of ₹34.60 Lakhs. The revocation follows inspections and compliance with instructions from the Department of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH) and other compliances by the company. Production at the affected plant was temporarily suspended, and the company has installed a new MPP-5 plant which is now in trial production.
