Water scarcity in Madhya Pradesh due to scanty rain has hit production at Grasim Industries' Nagda plant. This has forced the company to temporarily suspend operations at the plant.
In a statement sent to the Bombay Stock Exchange, the company stated that it has temporarily suspended production at its staple fibre plant.
In addition the chemical plant also located in the same region shall operate at 20 per cent of its rated capacity of 700 TPD.
The Nagda plant requires 90 lakh gallons of water a day, with 80 lakh gallons for the staple fibre plant and the balance for the chemical plant.
The company further stated that with the onset of monsoon and the arrival of water in the Nagda reservoir, both the plants have restarted in gradual manner and the production is expected to be restored at full capacity soon.
