Viscose staple fibre (VSF) manufacturer Grasim Industries has begun taking steps to resume production at its Nagda plant in Madhya Pradesh.
In a filing to the BSE, Grasim said “with the onset of monsoon, the availability of water has improved and accordingly the operations have started to resume the production in a phased manner, with immediate effect.”
On April 24 this year, the company had informed the BSE that it had started reducing production of staple fibre at its Nagda plant in a phased manner due to water shortage caused by deficient rain (less than half of normal) last year.
Subsequently, the production was fully suspended. Temporarily, Grasim continued to cater to the requirements of all its customers from its three other staple fibre plants—one each at Kharach, Vilayat (both in Gujarat) and Harihar.
