MUMBAI (ICIS)–India’s JPFL Films Pvt Ltd plans to set up a new 60,000 tonne/year biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film unit in the western Maharashtra state, at a cost of rupee (Rs) 2.5 billion ($30 million).
The company expects to begin operations at the new unit to be built at its Nashik complex in October 2025, its parent firm Jindal Poly Films said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on 16 August.
“The new line will help the company strengthen its market position and market share,” Jindal Poly Films said, adding that funding for the plant will be through internal accruals and bank financing.
JPFL Films currently has a production capacity of 294,200 tonnes/year of BOPP and 170,000 tonnes/year of biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) at its Nashik facility.
