02 Jun 2025 CW Team

Cosmo First has successfully commissioned a state-of-the-art BOPP (Biaxially Oriented PolyPropylene) film manufacturing line at its Aurangabad facility in Maharashtra, marking a significant leap in its production capabilities. With a capital expenditure exceeding Rs 4 billion, the new line adds an annual capacity of 81,200 metric tonnes, increasing the company’s total BOPP output by approximately 40 per cent to 277,000 metric tonnes per annum.

Equipped with the world’s most advanced technology, the new BOPP line is among the highest capacity lines globally. The investment reflects Cosmo First’s continued commitment to innovation and leadership in packaging, lamination, labelling, and synthetic paper films.

Speciality film sales at Cosmo First have recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10 per cent over the past six years. The new facility will support further diversification of the company’s speciality films portfolio, with several new product launches anticipated in the coming quarters.

Commenting on the development, Mr Pankaj Poddar, Group CEO of Cosmo First, stated, “We expect this line to achieve rapid capacity utilisation due to a favourable gap between domestic supply and demand. Additionally, the project qualifies for state government incentives and is designed as the most cost-efficient line in India.”

Mr Poddar further added that the company’s strategic focus will be on leveraging this investment to scale up speciality film sales and drive long-term growth in both domestic and international markets.
