The Bhansali Engineering Polymers Board has reviewed the capacity expansion projects at the company's existing plants i.e. Abu Road (Rajasthan) & Satnoor (Madhya Pradesh) for enhancing overall ABS production capacity to 2,00,000 tpa. 

The Board noted that the steps taken by the Company for improvement in operational efficiencies and process improvement at both its plants have resulted in increase in the overall ABS production based on availability of HRG and SAN from 65,000 TPA to 75,000 TPA (10,000 TPA additional ABS Production) without incurring any Capex, effective from 1st April, 2022.

All statutory approvals pertaining to the aforesaid capacity enhancement have already been received by the company.

With regards to Enhancing overall ABS Production capacity to 2,00,000 TPA by December 2024, the pace was slow in Q4 FY22 due to spread of omicron virus all over the World. International travel was restricted, especially to Japan wherein further technological discussion and finalization were to be done.

With relaxation in Covid related restrictions for the international travellers, the company's management shall visit Japan in May 22 for further advancement on the brownfield expansion project.

The slow pace due to omicron virus may lead to a delay in project implementation by 3 months and the company shall endeavour to expedite the completion of project before March 2025.
