What is the capacity and significance of Grasim Industries' newly inaugurated CPVC plant in Vilayat, Gujarat?

Grasim Industries has inaugurated Phase 1 of its chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) facility in Vilayat, Gujarat, with an initial capacity of 50,000 tonne/year. This plant is the first phase of a larger 100,000 tonne/year CPVC project and, once fully operational, is expected to become the largest single-site CPVC resin production facility globally. The project is developed in collaboration with US-based Lubrizol and aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing capability in CPVC resin to meet rising demand from infrastructure and building materials sectors in India.

How does Grasim’s new CPVC plant relate to Lubrizol’s existing operations in India?

Grasim’s new CPVC plant in Vilayat is part of a strategic collaboration with Lubrizol, combining Grasim’s manufacturing and execution capabilities in India with Lubrizol’s advanced CPVC technology. This initiative complements Lubrizol’s recently expanded CPVC compounding facility at Dahej, Gujarat — whose capacity was doubled from 70,000 to 140,000 tonne/year in 2023 — thereby creating one of India’s most scalable and integrated CPVC manufacturing footprints.
