Epigral Ltd. announced its expansion into Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) Compounds. With a capacity of 35,000 TPA, the CPVC Compound manufacturing plant is expected to get commissioned by fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 at Dahej, Gujarat. In July 2022, Epigral commissioned CPVC Resin capacity of 30,000 TPA.

This was followed by the company announcing further increase in capacity to 75,000 TPA by fourth quarter of fiscal year 24, a part of which will be utilised for CPVC Compound manufacturing with an additional capex of INR 25 million. With this expansion, Epigral will be catering to both, CPVC Resin and CPVC Compound customers in the country. Resistant to high heat and chemicals, CPVC Resin is widely used in manufacturing pipes for industrial and domestic purposes.

India is net importer of CPVC Resin andCPVC Compound demand. With Epigral venturing into manufacturing CPVC Compounds, the company aims at adding to domestic supply volume, thereby contributing in bridging the demand and supply gap.
