Alkali Metals Limited was incorporated on April 17, 1968 as a joint venture with APIDC. The Company is an ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2000 certified company engaged in the business of manufacturing sodium derivatives, pyridine derivatives, a range of fine chemicals, based on related chemistry. TheCompany commenced the production of sodium metal, with an installed capacity of 125 MT. There were only a few manufacturers of sodium metal at that time and the technology was not available easily. The Company developed the technology for sodium metal based on in - house R & D capabilities and this was an achievement, considering various hazards in the development and manufacture of the same. The Company has a distinction of developing technology for the manufacture of sodium metal for usage in fast breeder nuclear reactors for power generation and developed technologies for several derivatives based on sodium metal, picoline and various other cyclic compounds. In the year 1986, APIDC exited from the joint venture.

Manufacture of sodium metal is power intensive and with increasing power tariffs, imported sodium metal became more attractive compared to the cost of indigenous production. Hence the Company diversified and built its product portfolio which can be classified into the following three categories:

1. Sodium derivatives
2. Pyridine derivatives
3. Fine chemicals

Products in these categories include amides, hydrides, alkoxides, azides, tetrazoles, pyridine compounds, cyclic compounds, drug and pharma intermediates, specialty fine chemicals etc. Technology for these products was developed in – house which is an achievement, considering hazardous process chemistry involved in the development and manufacture of the same. The company developed suitable systems to ensure safe and smooth functioning of the plants and has got the necessary accreditions. The Company manufactures the above products on bulk and regular basis, on campaign basis and also on contract manufacturing basis.


Apart from the above, the Company has further developed 246 products in the aforesaid categories.

Possessing a distinct technology, developed in house, for manufacturing sodium derivatives, our Company is a major player in the sodium derivatives market. These products cater to both the domestic and overseas markets. The Company’s offshoring capabilities in select chemistries is showcased by the presence of some of the global pharma majors in its customer kitty, Dr. Reddys Laboratories, Aurobindo Pharma, Ranbaxy, Clariant, Novasep, Siber Hegner etc.

The Company also has a dedicated R & D facility recognised by the Ministry of Science and Technology, New Delhi. This facility operates through three modules, being, a laboratory for gram level operation and research, a pilot plant and a proving facility to upscale the production process from pilot plant to a commercial scale and full fledged production.

Currently, the Company has two manufacturing facilities, Unit I and II. Both our units are ISO 9001: 2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certified and both are having combined installed capacity of 4,400 MTPA. While Unit-I is engaged in the manufacture of sodium metals, organo alkali metallics, tetrazoles, amino pyridines and caters to the domestic market, Unit II, a 100% EOU is engaged in the manufacture of pyridine derivatives, cyclic compounds and fine chemicals. These products find wide application and use in various industries like the pharma, agro based products, pesticides, explosives, bio technology products and electroplating chemicals.

Alkali Metals Ltd. manufactures variety of products ranging from Alkali Metal Derivatives, Amino Pyridines, Tetrazoles, Cyclic compounds and Fine chemicals. Ours is a ISO 9001 and 14001 certified company following cGMP Standards.
Alkali Metals Ltd., was established in April 1968 to manufacture Sodium Metal and down stream chemicals in its plant at Hyderabad, India.
