On 15 October 2026 an explosion at a chemical unit in Chhatral GIDC, Kalol taluka, killed four migrant workers on the spot. Early findings point to pressure building up in a reduction vessel, and the fire department suspects a mechanical fault. The unit reportedly held a fire NOC, and a forensic team is working out the exact cause.
On the night of 14 May 2026, workers cleaning an underground tank of a dyeing unit's effluent plant at Saij GIDC collapsed, allegedly after breathing toxic gas. Others went in to rescue them and were overcome too. Three migrant workers died and one was critical.
On 17 October 2026, a fire at a seat-making factory in the Santej industrial area near Kalol is suspected to have spread fast through foam sheets and raw foam.
