en.Wedoany.com Reported - Grasim Industries (the flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group) and Lubrizol Advanced Materials have inaugurated a state-of-the-art Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) resin manufacturing facility in Vilayat, Gujarat, India. Located within Grasim's chlor-alkali complex, the plant has an initial annual capacity of 50,000 metric tonnes. CPVC resin is widely used in pipes, water management, fire protection systems, and industrial piping. This new facility will meet the growing demand in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly as the market increasingly prioritizes locally produced materials.

Jayant V Dhobley, Head of Global Chemicals Business and CEO of Aditya Birla Group, stated that this collaboration combines Grasim's manufacturing and execution capabilities in India with Lubrizol's latest technology to provide reliable CPVC materials to the market. This reflects a shared approach to building and collaboratively developing scalable chemical manufacturing capabilities.

Rebecca Liebert, CEO of Lubrizol, noted that this investment represents the company's commitment to delivering advanced materials that meet industry needs while promoting sustainable solutions. The plant is expected to enhance the supply of CPVC resin for critical applications, support India's domestic infrastructure development, help reduce dependence on imported raw materials, and strengthen India's position as a global manufacturing hub.

The commissioning of the Vilayat facility underscores the strategic partnership between Grasim Industries and Lubrizol, as well as their shared vision of driving the chemical industry forward through innovation and technology.
