The plant will produce methylene dichloride (MDC), chloroform and carbon tetra chloride.
The plant, to be established at existing manufacturing facility of MFL situated at GIDC Dahej, will be commissioned in March 2018.

This will help MFL in reducing the cost of production of CMS plant and profitability of the company," said Meghmani Finechem in a press release.
