The birthplace of Tata Chemicals

Mithapur, Gujarat

A legacy of innovation

Started in 1939, Mithapur leveraged its massive salt reserves to become India's leading salt and soda ash producer. Through innovation and entrepreneurship, successive generations have sustained its leadership, leading to global expansion as the world's second-largest soda ash producer. We also manufacture cement, light soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, bromine and caustic soda at the facility.
