Key Activities
Industrial Salt Operations
The entity consolidates Archean's industrial salt production at 6 million MT annual capacity, producing Grade 1 salt with NaCl above 99.5% for domestic and export markets across food, chemical, and industrial applications.
Bromine Production
Archean's bromine operations at 42,000 MT annual capacity are anchored through this holding structure, supporting supply to global oil and gas, pharma, agrochemical, and flame retardant customers.
Sulphate of Potash Manufacturing
The entity holds interest in India's only natural sea brine-based SOP production, at 1,00,000 MT annual capacity, serving domestic and international agricultural markets.
Export Operations
Through this structure, Archean manages its export operations for industrial salt to Japan, South Korea, and markets across South and East Asia, as well as bromine exports to global customers.
ZLD and Sustainability Operations
The entity oversees the group's zero liquid discharge system and renewable energy operations at the Hajipir plant, supporting Archean's environmental commitments.
Group Subsidiary Oversight
Archean Chemicals provides the structural framework for consolidating the group's marine chemicals interests and coordinating with downstream derivative businesses within the Archean group.
Our Unit
Hajipir Plant
This is Archean’s primary integrated manufacturing facility producing industrial salt, bromine and sulfate of potash from natural sea brine through solar evaporation.
Markets We Serve
Chlor-Alkali
Industrial salt is a critical feedstock for the global chlor-alkali industry, supporting the production of essential chemicals that serve as building blocks across multiple industrial value chains. A consistent supply of quality industrial salt enables chlor-alkali producers to maintain stable plant operations, reliable production volumes and consistent product quality, making salt availability an important part […]
Agriculture
Export-grade agriculture demands chloride-free potassium to maintain crop quality specifications commanding premium market prices. Conventional potassium fertilisers introduce chloride ions, accumulating in soil profiles and damaging plant tissue, reducing quality attributes that global buyers require and premium markets reward. Archean produces sulphate of potash directly from natural seawater brine through solar evaporation, India’s only such […]
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical synthesis requires high-quality and consistent raw materials for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty compounds. Bromine and its derivatives are important chemical building blocks used by pharmaceutical manufacturers in the synthesis of a wide range of pharmaceutical intermediates and products, supporting efficient and reliable manufacturing processes. Archean supplies bromine to the […]
Speciality Chemicals
Speciality chemical manufacturers rely on salt and bromine as essential building blocks for developing high-value chemical products with specific performance characteristics. Industrial salt supports a wide range of chemical applications, serving as a key feedstock for chlor-alkali products and downstream sodium- and chlorine-based derivatives, which are further used across water treatment, polymers, textiles, pulp & […]
Water & Environmental Services
Water and environmental services depend on reliable chemical solutions to maintain water quality, protect critical infrastructure and support efficient water management. Bromine and bromine derivatives play an important role in industrial water treatment, particularly in cooling-water systems, where effective microbial control helps minimise biofouling, slime formation, corrosion-related issues and loss of heat-transfer efficiency. These applications […]
