SOLARIS Chemtech

What SOLARIS Chemtech does

SOLARIS Chemtech Industries Limited (SCIL) is a privately held Indian chemical manufacturer that produces bromine and a range of bromine-based chemicals, together with technical-grade phosphoric acid. It is a 100% subsidiary of Agrocel Industries Private Limited, part of the Excel Group of Companies, and originated as a Chlor-Alkali division of Ballarpur Industries Limited in the 1970s before being hived off as a standalone entity in the 1990s and renamed Solaris Chemtech. The company's core manufacturing complex is located at Khavda in the Greater Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, where it extracts bromine from self-replenishing sea bitterns — a location-locked, naturally renewing raw material base that underpins its cost position.

The product portfolio centers on bromine and brominated intermediates, including Liquid Bromine, Hydrobromic Acid, n-Propyl Bromide, Tetra Bromo Bisphenol-A (a brominated flame retardant), Allyl Bromide, Tert Butyl Bromo Acetate, Acetyl Bromide, Benzyl Bromide, Para Bromo Anisol, Para Fluoro Bromo Benzene, and Bromo OTBN, alongside technical-grade phosphoric acid. The company is described as India's leading producer of bromine and bromine chemicals, holding market-leadership positions across the segments it operates in and serving end-use industries including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, electronics, dyes, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and oil drilling. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications under an Integrated Management System and is a signatory to the Responsible Care movement, with multiple regional awards for water management (CII Triveni, 2018), CSR in remote areas (IEDRA, 2019), and social responsibility (TERI).

Solaris operates a direct B2B sales model with no distributor or reseller channel, supported by regional sales offices in Noida (North and South zones) and Mumbai (West zone), a corporate headquarters in Gurgaon, and its Khavda manufacturing site. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumed to be negotiated on a quote basis with industrial buyers. Following the divestment of its Chlor-Alkali, Phosphates, and Specialty Chemicals businesses in the 2010s, the company has concentrated on marine-based bromine chemistry derived from its Rann of Kutch bittern resource.
