Send Push
Somany Ceramics has temporarily halted operations at the Kassar plant in Bahadurgarh, Haryana due to temporary stoppage of gas supply from GAIL, the company announced on Sunday.

Somany received a communication from GAIL (India) Limited regarding a gas leakage incident at Chainage 17 km of GAIL’s Gauna-Bawana pipeline caused by heavy rainfall and flood-like conditions.

This incident has resulted in the temporary stoppage of gas supply to the Kassar plant.


"Our manufacturing operations at the Plant are dependent on the uninterrupted supply of natural gas from GAIL. Due to the current disruption, production at the Plant has been temporarily halted," the company said in a stock exchange filing.

State-owned GAIL has commenced restoration work on the affected pipeline to resume the supply of gas.

"The Company is closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as and when operations at the plant are resumed or if there are any material developments," Somany Ceramics said.

The tile manufacturer reaffirmed that sufficient stocks are available and accordingly, no sales will be affected due to the temporary shutdown at the plant. All other plants of the company remain fully operational.
