15 Jul 2025 CW Team

Monolithisch India Limited, one of the fastest-growing manufacturers in the refractory materials space, has announced a strategic expansion of its installed manufacturing capacity from 132,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) to 156,000 TPA, effective 15 July 2025. This 18% increase reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to scale operations responsibly in response to rising demand from the steel and infrastructure sectors.

The company, listed on the NSE SME platform since June 2025, is implementing a phased expansion plan. It aims to reach a capacity of 215,000 TPA by September 2025 and scale further to 250,000 TPA by December 2025. This growth is fuelled by internal infrastructure upgrades, process optimisation, and strong market demand, particularly for its new premium product SGB-Limited.

According to the company, “This capacity enhancement reflects our commitment to scale responsibly while continuing to meet the evolving demands of the steel and infrastructure sectors. We are coordinating growth, innovation, and execution in the markets with this roadmap.” The management has reaffirmed its focus on sustainable growth and quality excellence across its operations.

Together with its subsidiary, Metalurgica India Private Limited, Monolithisch India is targeting a long-term installed capacity of 574,000 TPA. This will enhance its capability to support the secondary steel sector with reliable, high-performance refractory solutions. The company, founded in 2018 and headquartered in West Bengal, currently supports over 80% of India’s integrated steel production with its flagship premixed ramming mass products.

With operations across key industrial hubs in Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal, Monolithisch India continues to focus on customer-centric innovation, strong infrastructure, and sustainability-driven practices as it charts its next phase of growth.
