04 Mar 2026 CW Team

The company has invested Rs 490 million (mn) in procurement and commissioning for the expansion, funding the project from internal accruals. Management indicated that the enhancement will enable improved operational efficiencies and optimisation of supply chains for both raw material sourcing and export fulfilment. The investment underscores a focus on scaling production to support key export markets and long-term growth.

The expanded facility is expected to support more efficient processing cycles and better serve customers with high-quality recycled lead supplied in a responsible manner consistent with circular economy principles. The Mundra expansion is intended to reduce transit times and logistics costs while maintaining environmental and safety standards across operations. The company noted that greater capacity at a port-proximate site will facilitate responsiveness to international demand. Operational teams will focus on process standardisation and quality control to ensure consistent output and compliance with environmental norms.

Gravita is presented as a leading global recycling company with 13 eco-conscious, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities worldwide and a recycling heritage of three decades. Post expansion, the company's total installed recycling capacity stands at 425,959 t per annum. The business operates across six verticals and serves customers in over 70 countries as it pursues sustainable growth. The company plans to leverage the expanded capacity to advance product quality and circular business initiatives without compromising safety.
