Goyal Salt, a prominent FMCG company specializing in premium salt products, has announced an investment of ₹80 crore to establish a new manufacturing facility in Gandhidham, near Kutch. The plant, with an annual production capacity of 4.5 lakh tonnes, spans 12 acres and is currently in its trial run phase. It is slated to begin full-scale operations by the end of January 2025. Once operational, the plant is set to make Goyal Salt one of the largest players in natural salt production in India.

In addition to the Gandhidham facility, the company operates another major unit in Nawa City, Rajasthan.

Goyal Salt’s product portfolio includes high-quality industrial and edible salts, such as Triple Refined Free Flow Iodized Salt, Industrial Salt, Double Fortified Salt, and Triple Refined Half Dry Salt.
The company has built a strong foothold in North India, catering to states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, and Bihar. It is now eyeing a top-three position among salt brands in India by expanding into Western markets, including Maharashtra and Gujarat, as well as Eastern states such as Odisha and Assam.
Focus on Advanced Technology and Market Expansion
According to Pramesh Goyal, Managing Director of Goyal Salt, the new Gandhidham plant represents a significant step in the company’s strategic growth plans. “This facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology and infrastructure to ensure high standards of salt production. Gandhidham provides a favorable business environment, making it an ideal location for this investment. The plant will play a critical role in strengthening our presence in key regions like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, and Assam,” he stated.
India currently ranks as the third-largest salt producer in the world, highlighting the sector’s growth potential. Goyal Salt is leveraging this momentum by ramping up production capacity, diversifying its product range, and enhancing its market penetration.
