In 1973, a small beginning was made in the field of chemicals with the establishment of Sadhana Nitro Chem Limited (SNCL) - a company that was committed to producing high quality chemical intermediates by setting up with 12,000 TPA plant in Roha, 135 Kms. from its Head Office in the metropolis of Mumbai, SNCL, an existing listed, public limited company was promoted by its founder Chairman Mr. D.T.Javeri with other co-promoters for the manufacture of 9000 TPA of Nitrobenzene based on the technology from AB Chematur Division of the Nobel Industries, Sweden.

In 1979 the company diversified into the manufacture of downstream products viz., Metanilic Acid and Sodium Meta Nitrobenzene sulphonate. Based on the in-house technology. SNCL has also set up projects for manufacture of 3,3 Dinitro Diphenyl Sulphone, Aniline 2,5 Disulphonic acid, Aniline 2,4 Disulphonic acid.
In 1995 SNCL commissioned a 550 TPA plant to manufacture Meta Amino Phenol. This project was set up in technical collaboration with Biazzi S.A., Switzerland. As a reputed manufacturer SNCL has been able to enter into contracts with foreign companies for custom and toll manufacturing. In the year 2000 a new 350 TPA plant to produce Butane Tetra 1,2,3,4 Carboxylic Acid was commissioned. In its R & D Laboratory, there is development work is going on for new chemical intermediates.

Since inception, SNCL has devoted its resources exclusively for manufacture and sale of intermediates. Production of intermediates under rigid quality standards has been the hallmark of SNCL's success in attuning and propelling it to customer requirements.
The transition of product line, with reliance on its well-equipped quality control laboratory has been the motivating force in sustaining growth and export, in competition with giants in the international market, satisfying highly discerning and quality conscious clients, including multinationals, spread across the world.
SNCL is a Government Recognised Golden Export House, actively engaged in the Exports.
In recognition of its export performance SNCL has been awarded number of export awards.
SNCL also has its Research & Development Laboratory, housing sophisticated instruments / equipments / pilot plant etc., for carrying out developmental work on various downstream derivatives and chemical intermediates. Some of the intermediates developed in the R & D Laboratory have been commercialised and few more intermediates are under developmental stage.
