Setco Automotive Unit Ordered Shut by Gujarat Pollution Board Over Wastewater Concerns

Setco Automotive Limited ( (IN:SETCO) ) has provided an announcement.

Setco Automotive has disclosed that the Gujarat Pollution Control Board has ordered the closure of one manufacturing unit of its subsidiary, Setco Auto Systems Private Limited, located on the Baroda–Godhra Highway in Kalol, Gujarat, and directed disconnection of most electricity supply due to alleged wastewater discharge near the River Goma catchment area. The company is reviewing the directive, considering legal remedies, and has sought to reassure stakeholders that its manufacturing operations are run in compliance with applicable environmental laws, signaling potential operational disruption at the affected unit and heightened regulatory scrutiny on its environmental practices.

The inspection by pollution control officials in February led directly to this enforcement action, underscoring the regulatory risks industrial manufacturers face in environmentally sensitive zones. While the financial and production impact has not yet been quantified, investors and other stakeholders will closely watch how quickly Setco can resolve the issue and restore normal operations at the plant, as well as any longer-term implications for its compliance framework and reputation.
