Green panel nod to Jubilant Life's Rs. 250-cr pesticide project in Gujarat.

The Centre's green panel has given the go-ahead to Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd (JLSL) for setting up a technical grade pesticide manufacturing unit in Gujarat, which would entail an investment of Rs. 250 crore.

The company's proposal is to establish a unit for manufacturing 30-odd technical grade pesticides and intermediates with a production capacity of 32,350 tonnes per annum.

An Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) on industry, set up by the environment ministry, vetted the proposal in a meeting recently.

The EAC recommended environment clearance to the proposed project subject to compliance to certain conditions, as per the minutes of the EAC meeting.
