Goyal Salt produces premium industrial and edible salts which include triple refined free flow iodized salt, industrial salt and double fortified salt and has a presence in Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

India is currently the third largest salt-producing country, a position that reflects its strong performance and growth potential. Goyal Salt has been focusing on increasing its production capacity and expanding its product portfolio and market presence.
