en.Wedoany.com Reported - Toray Industries, Inc., through its subsidiary Toray Industries (India), is adding a high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin composite production line at its facility in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, India, with a designed annual capacity of 3,000 tons. This line will produce Toray's flagship Torelina® PPS resin series, marking the company's first in-house PPS composite production facility in India.
The project is scheduled for completion in early 2027, with sample shipments expected to begin in April 2027, followed by full-scale commercial production. Upon completion, Toray's global PPS capacity will increase from 33,600 tons to 36,600 tons per year. This capacity expansion primarily targets the automotive, electronics, electrical, and industrial sectors, which demand PPS materials with high heat resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical corrosion resistance.
This investment is part of the Toray Group's long-term management strategy "TORAY Challenges 2035," aimed at strengthening localized manufacturing capabilities, improving supply chain resilience, and expanding regional production footprints in high-growth markets. Toray plans to establish an integrated PPS composite production system in India to complement its existing nylon and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin businesses, expected to generate operational synergies and enhance its engineering plastics product portfolio.
In addition to manufacturing capabilities, Toray also plans to strengthen its commercial and technical support infrastructure in India. The company will establish a new office in Pune, Maharashtra, in July 2026 to enhance production, sales, and technical service capabilities, accelerating its response to market demand. Toray believes that India's expanding manufacturing sector, favorable industrial policies, and the growth of the automotive and electronics industries make it a key market in its global expansion strategy.
