What is Toray's new PPS plant in India, and when will it start operations?

Toray Industries Inc. is establishing a new polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) production facility at Sri City in Andhra Pradesh through its affiliate Toray Industries (India) Pvt. Ltd., with a capacity of approximately 3,000 metric tons/year; it will be Toray’s first in-house PPS compound manufacturing line in India, with operations scheduled to begin in early 2027 and customer sample work commencing in April 2027.

Why is Toray expanding PPS production in India, according to the company?

Toray attributes the expansion to India’s robust economic outlook—projected to grow at about 7% annually—which is fueling demand for automobiles and home appliances, alongside government initiatives like 'Make in India' and the Production-Linked Incentive scheme that are driving local manufacturers to increase domestic procurement and production of components, thereby surging demand for locally produced resin materials such as PPS.
