VADODARA, India, May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Deepak Chem Tech Limited ("DCTL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Deepak Nitrite Limited, enters into long-term agreement with Praxair (a Linde company) to build a HyCO plant to manufacture key raw materials for DCTL's upcoming polycarbonate manufacturing facility at Padariya, Dahej, in the state of Gujarat.

Under the agreement, Praxair India will build, own and operate dedicated on-site facility to supply key feedstocks for polycarbonate production. The arrangement establishes a reliable, long-term supply of an essential input for the project.

The integrated supply arrangement with Praxair India has been structured to support product quality, scalability, and supply chain resilience as the project advances.

"A long-term arrangement of critical raw material supply through a dedicated on-site solution enhances execution visibility, supports efficient project delivery and creates value for our customers.
