Salt In Its Most Natural Form
Engineered For Scale

Our Saltworks

At SM Bajaj Salt, raw salt production is at the heart of our legacy. Our sprawling saltworks in Kutch form the backbone of our robust annual tonnage of crystal sea salt.

From solar salt evaporation ponds to mechanized salt washing units, our plants in Chirai, Karol, and Shikarpur are strategically located near Kandla and Mundra Ports, ensuring rapid supply to both domestic and international markets. Our salt is widely trusted by partners across industries; from food processing, water treatment, and chemical applications, to bulk industrial use.

Solar Evaporation Method

This is the most natural and sustainable method of salt production, ideal for the sun-drenched salt plains of Kutch, Gujarat. Seawater is collected in large concentration ponds, where the Sun’s heat and wind gradually evaporate the water, leaving behind pure salt crystals. The final crystallization occurs in separate ponds where the saturated brine precipitates salt, which is harvested using modern mechanized tools.

This method is best for Crystal Sea Salt, White Salt, and Low Impurity Salt. It is a green, energy-efficient method, ideal for large-scale production.

Rock Salt Mining Method

The second oldest method of salt production, and probably the most dramatic, In this method, natural rock salt is extracted from underground mines using room-and-pillar techniques. Though not currently practiced by the SM Bajaj Group, it’s a globally recognized process, especially for bulk industrial salt in colder regions. Miners access salt beds through vertical shafts, and large machines blast and crush the salt for surface transport.

This method is used in Cold-weather regions like North America, and Pakistan.

Vacuum Evaporation Method

Perfect for producing ultra-pure, fine salt, this method uses solution mining and vacuum pans to extract salt from underground deposits. Water is injected to dissolve salt, forming brine, which is then boiled under vacuum in a series of energy-efficient chambers. This method produces high-quality food-grade and pharmaceutical salt.

This method is the best for producing Iodized Salt, Free-Flow Salt, and Vitamin-Enhanced Salt.
