Dhanuka Agritech's Tracked Manufacturing Footprint
Projects India already tracks a separate Dhanuka Agritech project: a Technical Grade Pesticides Manufacturing Unit at GIDC, Dahej-III Industrial Estate, Vagra, Bharuch, Gujarat, valued at Rs 90 crore. The proposed Nagpur facility would represent a second and larger manufacturing investment for the company within the Projects India database.
Maharashtra's Position in Other Industrial Projects
The proposed Nagpur plant sits within Maharashtra, which Projects India records as the third most active state for Other Industrial Projects in India, with 306 tracked projects. Uttar Pradesh leads with 323 projects, followed by Karnataka with 313. Gujarat, where Dhanuka Agritech already has a tracked facility, accounts for 281 projects in the sub-sector, and Andhra Pradesh follows with 266.
Across all states, Industrial Projects remain one of the more active capital expenditure categories, with activity concentrated in western and southern India.
Sub-sector Pipeline: Stage and Volume
Projects India tracks 2,673 projects in the Other Industrial Projects sub-sector nationally. Of these, 1,186 are at the Planning stage, making early-stage projects the largest single cohort. A further 569 are Under Approvals and 66 have received approvals. Projects that have moved into active construction number 417, while 277 have been recorded as completed. Fifty-four projects are on hold.
Eighteen new projects were added to the sub-sector tracker in the last 90 days, reflecting a steady flow of emerging opportunities. Recent additions tracked by Projects India include a Rs 1,300 crore greenfield aluminium beverage can plant in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, promoted by CANPACK India Private Limited, and a Rs 1,300 crore eVTOL manufacturing unit in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, promoted by Sarla Aviation, both at active stages.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
A Rs 200 crore greenfield pesticide manufacturing plant generates potential demand across civil construction, process equipment, storage and handling systems, utilities, and environmental compliance infrastructure. Suppliers active in agrochemical or specialty chemical plant construction in Maharashtra are best placed to engage early, given that the project has only been reported at the planning stage with no approvals information yet disclosed.
Maharashtra's 306 tracked Other Industrial Projects also present a broader pipeline for contractors already operating in the state. With 1,186 projects nationally sitting at the Planning stage, the sub-sector offers an extended forward-looking opportunity set for those monitoring project intelligence closely. Suppliers can review the full tracked projects database for current pipeline visibility.
There are currently no open India tenders recorded by Projects India in the Industrial Projects sector, underscoring the importance of tracking projects at the pre-tender stage to position ahead of procurement activity.
