Tata Projects Ltd. has won an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. (GSFC) for an integrated phosphoric acid–sulfuric acid (PA–SA) complex at Sikka, Jamnagar, in Gujarat, India. The Mumbai-based company, a member of the Tata Group, described the award as a significant milestone in its expansion into specialized process industries and as reinforcement of its role as an EPC partner for complex industrial infrastructure.
The proposed complex will include a 600 metric tons per day (MTPD) phosphoric acid plant and a 1,800 MTPD sulfuric acid plant, together with associated utilities and offsite infrastructure. GSFC, based in Vadodara, is pursuing the project as part of a strategic expansion and backward-integration program. According to the company, the complex is intended to strengthen captive raw-material availability for phosphatic fertilizer production, reduce exposure to imported inputs and improve long-term operational resilience.
Integrated scope
The contract covers integrated development of the phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid manufacturing facilities, supported by necessary utilities and offsite systems. Because the operations are interdependent, Tata Projects said successful delivery will require close coordination across engineering disciplines, procurement, construction planning and commissioning interfaces. The company's integrated EPC approach will be central to managing those complexities and supporting efficient project delivery.
For Tata Projects, the award is a strategic advance in its process-industry business and is intended to further strengthen its capabilities in delivering technically demanding industrial facilities. Rajiv Menon, president and chief growth and strategy officer at Tata Projects, said the award was built on sustained engagement with GSFC and demonstrated the company's ability to compete for and secure complex industrial projects through differentiated solutions and a compelling value proposition. He said the company's priority as it expands in chemicals, fertilizers and other specialized process industries is to build a high-quality, diversified order book anchored in technical expertise, execution credibility and enduring customer partnerships.
Portfolio strategy
The award supports Tata Projects' strategy of expanding across high-value industrial segments, complementing its established capabilities in power, metals and mining, oil and gas, clean energy and advanced manufacturing. By increasing its participation in the chemicals and fertilizers sector, the company aims to deepen its process-engineering expertise, diversify its industrial portfolio and create sustained value through technically differentiated EPC solutions.
