Epigral Limited announced the successful commissioning of an additional 45,000 TPA (Tonnes Per Annum) capacity of CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) resin plant at its Dahej facility in Gujarat starting April 3, 2024. With this expansion, Epigral's total CPVC resin capacity reaches a remarkable 75,000 TPA, positioning it as the largest CPVC resin facility in the world at a single location. This milestone signifies Epigral's commitment to meeting the growing demand for CPVC resins in India and globally.

The organization's move into CPVC resin production is consistent with the Government of India's initiatives like Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, which aim to make India more self-reliant. The new capacity addition will thus help in reducing India's reliance on imports of CPVC and further strengthen the country's foreign exchange reserves. In addition to the CPVC resin capacity expansion, Epigral is also venturing into CPVC compound production, with a projected capacity of 35,000 TPA.

The project is under progress and is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of the financial year 2025. CPVC resin and compound are integral components in the manufacturing of CPVC pipes and fittings, renowned for their high heat and chemical resistance properties, thus making them suitable for both domestic and industrial applications. India's CPVC demand is approximately 2,50,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) and is still developing, with an annual growth expected to range between 10% and 13%.

Epigral's strategic expansion into this sector demonstrates the company's pledge to innovation and sustainability.
