Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL), a key player in the petrochemical manufacturing sector and part of AM International, Singapore, has announced the inauguration of its expanded Propylene Glycol (PG) plant. The advanced facility will commence operations upon receiving the Consent to Operate (CTO) from the Tamil Nadu State Pollution Control Board.
With this expansion, MPL will boost its Propylene Glycol production capacity by 50,000 tonnes per annum (KTPA), in addition to its existing 22,000 KTPA, marking a significant step in enhancing domestic manufacturing capabilities. This strategic move aligns with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and reflects MPL’s dedication to reducing dependency on imports through sustainable industrial growth.
Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman of MPL and Founder Chairman of AM International, Singapore, commented:
“I congratulate the MPL team on the successful expansion and inauguration of the Propylene Glycol facility. This state-of-the-art plant reinforces our commitment to sustainable growth, meeting evolving customer needs, and strengthening our market leadership.
It also highlights our focus on domestic manufacturing and supports the government’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision by reducing import dependence and fostering a resilient economy.”
The expanded facility leverages cutting-edge technologies and local expertise, aiming to significantly lower India’s reliance on imported Propylene Glycol while catering to the growing needs of both industrial and domestic markets. This development positions MPL to further contribute to India's emergence as a competitive global manufacturing hub.
