Gujarat Dyestuffs Manufacturers Association - Making Gujarat pole player in dyestuffs

Gujarat has marked its place on the map of India as the most promising state for investment due to its progressive policies and social stability. Gujarat’s success story stands out among Indian states. One of India’s most dynamic and industrialised states, Gujarat hosts a variety of industries, chemicals and dyes being one of the most prominent.

GDMA has always displayed a flayer for innovation which has culminated into the organization of several landmark events, programs and activities such as seminars, exhibitions, workshops, round table conferences, open houses and interactive sessions on a multitude of vital issues and subjects relating to project and deliberate over major issues affecting the growth of dyestuff industries.

The most outstanding and noteworthy service rendered by the Association is in the field of pollution control in Gujarat. In fact active support and initiative from GDMA was instrumental in establishing CETPs and Authorised Common Hazardous Waste Landfill Sites in all GIDC Estates of Gujarat to control pollution in the larger interest and survival of industries. While discharging service to the industries, it has not lagged behind in discharging social obligations in times of natural and man made calamities.

The association plays a very proactive role in representing and resolving issues faced by dyes and dye intermediates industries at various state and Central policy-making bodies, and is governed by 18 elected directors.

GDMA also plays active role in sensitizing its members through technical seminars, exhibitions, etc., on environmental issues and by emphasizing the absolute need to comply with all discharge norms as mandated by CPCB/GPCB.

Extending its agenda beyond business, GDMA gave a thrust to development activities for the year both on the economic as well as the social front.

With a positive approach and untiring attitude, the association will work intensely to propel the sector and take the state and country to newer heights.
