Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL), a key player in petrochemical manufacturing and part of AM International, Singapore, has announced a major expansion of its Propylene Glycol (PG) plant. The new facility is set to commence operations soon. It will begin once it receives the Consent to Operate (CTO) from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board.
50,000 TPA Capacity Boost
MPL is increasing its Propylene Glycol production by 50,000 tons per annum (TPA). This adds to its existing capacity of 22,000 TPA. This significant boost aligns with the government’s “Make in India” vision. The company is also strengthening its advanced manufacturing footprint in the domestic market.
Commitment to Sustainable and Self-Reliant Growth
Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman of MPL and Founder Chairman of AM International, stated,
“The facility demonstrates our commitment to sustainable expansion, meeting evolving customer expectations, and reinforcing our market leadership. It also reflects our focus on local manufacturing and alignment with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative — a step toward reducing import dependence and contributing to a resilient domestic economy.”
Reducing Import Dependence through Innovation
MPL aims to curb India’s reliance on imported Propylene Glycol. It will achieve this by using cutting-edge technology and local expertise. As reported by thehindubusinessline.com, the move addresses the growing needs of domestic and industrial consumers. It also positions India as a stronger and more competitive player in the global manufacturing landscape.
