Manali Petrochemicals Expands Propylene Glycol Capacity

Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL), a petrochemical manufacturer and part of AM International, Singapore, has expanded its Propylene Glycol (PG) plant, increasing production capacity by 50,000 tonnes per annum (TPA). This addition will take the total capacity to 72,000 TPA, up from the existing 22,000 TPA. The facility is expected to commence operations upon receiving Consent to Operate (CTO) from the Tamil Nadu State Pollution Control Board.
This strategic expansion reflects MPL’s commitment to the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives, aiming to reduce India’s reliance on PG imports and strengthen its domestic manufacturing base. The new facility integrates advanced technology and leverages local talent to support sustainable, self-reliant growth.
Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman of MPL and Founder Chairman of AM International, stated that the project aligns with the group’s focus on meeting evolving customer demands, enhancing market leadership, and contributing to India’s economic resilience through local production.
