Expansion plan to enhance ABS production capacity from existing 75000 TPA to 100000 TPA with estimated cost of Rs.200 crores was expected to be completed by September, 2026. However, due to disturbances caused by global war scenario (i.e. Gulf War & Russia- Ukraine war) following issues are being faced:

- Delivery of imported equipment is delayed due to shortage / non-availability of shipping containers;

- Service engineers of Foreign Suppliers are unable to commit exact visit schedules for equipment commissioning trials;

- Delivery of reactor is delayed due to distu rbed supply chain of components required for assembly of reactor and is now expected in November, 2026.

The Management have reviewed the project implementation plan in detail, considering the delay / disturbances caused by global war scenario. Moreover, the operational shutdown schedule also needs to be re-aligned with the revised equipment delivery timelines and construction sequence to minimise loss of production hours.

Considering all factors, the management is confident to achieve project completion by end of March, 2027.
