Site 1 - Village Pam Tembhi, Taluka Palghar, District Palghar Site 2 – Vikramgadh Taluka Thane, District Thane Vapi (aerial distance 77.9 km N) Site 3 – Gowade Village ,Taluka Palghar, District Palghar Proposed project is located adjacent to Tarapur MIDC.

Site has been finalized on the basis of following merits • Site is adjoined to well-developed Tarapur MIDC, hence all required infrastructure likes tar roads, electricity, water and other facilities are already developed around the project.
In addition to that site is accessible from Navapur Road, State highway -74 (Boisar Tarapur road) at an aerial distance of 3.26 km and National Highway - 8 (NH-8), 20 km away.

• The proposed site is surrounded by industrial land use consisting of industries such as Ms. Nandolia Organic Chemicals Pvt Ltd., Lupin Ltd., JPN Pharma Pvt., Aarti Industries., etc.

thereby ensuring surrounding land use compatibility.
