NOCIL Commissions New Rubber Chemical Plant

New Delhi, Apr 8 (PTI) NOCIL Ltd said on Wednesday it has commissioned a new manufacturing facility for Pilnox TDQ/TMQ rubber anti-degradants at Dahej, Gujarat, as part of a Rs 250 crore investment programme to expand its rubber chemicals portfolio.

The plant, located within the Dahej Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR), will produce chemicals used to improve tyre durability, performance and safety, as well as non-tyre applications.

NOCIL, in a statement, said the facility's location provides access to raw materials, port connectivity and integrated infrastructure, supporting both domestic supply and export markets.


"As supply chains evolve, building strong domestic capabilities is a responsibility we take seriously," Managing Director Anand V S said.

The company said the expansion was designed with a focus on energy efficiency and environmental considerations, and aligned with India's broader push toward greater self-reliance in specialty chemicals at a time of global supply chain realignment.

NOCIL, listed on stock exchanges, is among the country's largest manufacturers of rubber chemicals, supplying to tyre makers and industrial rubber product manufacturers domestically and abroad.
