en.Wedoany.com Reported - Toray plans to build a new polyphenylene sulfide resin production facility in Suryapet, Andhra Pradesh, India, with an annual capacity of approximately 3,000 metric tons, expected to commence operations in early 2027.
Toray Industries recently announced that its Indian subsidiary, Toray Industries (India), has decided to build a new high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin production facility at its plant in Suryapet, Andhra Pradesh, under the brand name Torelina. This resin is known for its excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and flame retardancy.
The new production line will have an annual capacity of approximately 3,000 metric tons and is expected to start operations in early 2027. Samples will be supplied to customers from April 2027, with full-scale mass production to commence as soon as possible. This will be Toray's first in-house PPS compounding production line in India.
By establishing an integrated PPS resin compounding production system, Toray will strengthen its existing nylon and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin compounding businesses in India. The company plans to expand its engineering plastics product line for automotive electronic components and engine parts, ensure quality consistency by optimizing product design and process conditions, and accelerate production ramp-up and continuous improvement. At that time, the company will build a highly reliable mass production supply system, provide technical services, and optimize quality control solutions for the local market.
The Indian market has enormous growth potential, with real GDP growing at an annual rate of approximately 7%. Rising income levels are driving demand for automobiles, home appliances, and other high-value-added goods. Under the "Make in India" initiative, domestic manufacturers are increasing local procurement and production of various components. Production-linked incentive schemes are also prompting companies to rapidly increase local procurement rates. As a result, there is strong demand in India for locally manufactured and procured resin materials, with a surge in demand for local alternatives to imported materials.
Toray will open a new office in Pune, Maharashtra, in July 2026 to strengthen its support system in India. By expanding its production, sales, and technical support network in India, the company will consolidate its business foundation in the Indian market. This project is part of Toray's long-term management strategy, "Toray Challenges 2035," aimed at strengthening frontline capabilities and supply chain resilience. This facility is crucial for Toray's resin business expansion in India and reflects its commitment to solidifying its position as a top global PPS resin manufacturer.
