Sanstar has successfully commissioned its expanded native starch manufacturing capacity at its facility in Dhule, Maharashtra, enhancing its total capacity from 1,100 tons per day (TPD) to 2,350 TPD. This expansion, which cost ₹181.6 crore (approximately $22 million USD), is a significant milestone in the company's growth strategy, funded through proceeds from its Initial Public Offering (IPO). The Dhule facility's strategic location near key maize-growing regions and major ports offers logistical advantages that will support efficient sourcing and export operations. Following this expansion, the Dhule plant is set to become one of the largest plants in India in terms of operating capacity at a single location. The expansion is being executed in two phases, with the derivatives facility expected to be commissioned by FY2026-27. This increased capacity is anticipated to improve operational efficiencies and enable Sanstar to meet the growing domestic and international demand for maize-based specialty products.
