Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals (GSFC) is planning to set up a phosphoric acid plant, VD Nanavaty, chief financial officer (CFO) and executive director (ED) of finance, told CNBC-TV18.
The manufacturer of fertilisers and industrial chemicals reported good earnings for the June-ended quarter both on a year-on-year (YoY) and sequential basis. The growth this time around was led by the industrial products segment.
