A total of 149 kg mephedrone or 'meow meow' (both in powder and liquid form), 50 kg ephedrine and 200 l acetone was recovered from the three labs located in Bhinmal of Jalore district and Osian in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan and Gandhinagar in Gujarat, the officer said.
Seven persons have been arrested till now in the crackdown, he said.
The teams of the two agencies were also raiding a similar lab in the Amreli district of Gujarat and more recoveries are expected, Singh said.
"The kingpin of this network has been identified and will be arrested soon. Efforts are being made to track and identify the source of precursor chemicals as well as the distribution network, national as well as any international linkages," he said.
