Explanation

Nagda, located in the Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh, is a prominent industrial hub primarily known for the production of Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF). Grasim Industries, a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, established its VSF production unit in Nagda in 1954. The facility has grown to become one of the world's largest producers of spun-dyed specialty fibre, catering to diverse textile needs including apparel and home textiles. Originally incorporated as Gwalior Rayon Silk Manufacturing (Weaving) Co. Ltd., the company's registered office remains in Birlagram, Nagda. While other regions in Madhya Pradesh like Pithampur and Jabalpur are associated with automobiles, Nagda's industrial identity is fundamentally linked to the man-made cellulosic fibre industry. The site also hosts significant R&D facilities dedicated to viscose technology and sustainable fibre innovations [1].
