Vishnu Chemicals says Visakhapatnam Parwada facility resumes production
Jagruti Jain
Vishnu Chemicals Ltd on Tuesday informed stock exchanges that its Parwada manufacturing facility in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, has resumed full operations after completion of scheduled maintenance activities.
In an exchange filing dated May 12, 2026, the company said the Parwada plant, which had been under maintenance since April 15, has restarted operations from today.
The company had earlier announced a temporary shutdown of the facility for routine maintenance activities aimed at improving operational efficiency and ensuring long-term plant performance. The maintenance shutdown was initially expected to last around three weeks before being extended earlier this month.
Vishnu Chemicals’ Visakhapatnam facility is one of the company’s key manufacturing units and plays an important role in its chromium chemicals business. The company manufactures specialty chemicals catering to sectors including steel, pharmaceuticals, glass, pigments, dyes and leather.
The restart of operations is expected to help normalise production and supply schedules after the temporary halt impacted near-term output during the maintenance period.
In recent developments, Vishnu Chemicals has been actively expanding and diversifying its specialty chemicals portfolio. The company recently entered the strontium chemistry segment through the acquisition of Jayansree Pharma, now renamed Vishnu Strontium Pvt Ltd. It also commissioned a precipitated barium sulphate plant and expanded backward integration capabilities through acquisitions in the minerals segment.
Vishnu Chemicals has also been focusing on strengthening its position in chromium and barium compounds globally, with exports across Europe, the US, Asia and other international markets. According to company information, the firm operates multiple manufacturing facilities across India and serves industries ranging from ceramics and refractories to detergents and electroplating.
The company had earlier stated that it would inform exchanges once the Parwada facility resumed full-scale operations, which has now been completed.
