Prince Pipes and Fittings Limited (PPFL), one of India’s largest integrated piping solutions & multi polymer manufacturers with six strategically located plants across the country, has announced the launch of its seventh manufacturing facility in Sangareddy, Telangana.

PPFL has expanded its pan-India manufacturing presence thereby making greater in-roads into the Southern region and strengthening its position as a leading manufacturer of high-quality plastic pipes and fittings. Currently, the company caters to the Southern market by two plants in Chennai and Haridwar.

The manufacturing unit is expected to have a total installed capacity of approximately 50,000 metric tons per annum to come up in phases over the next 2 to 3 years. The first phase has an installed capacity of 4,020 metric tonnes per annum producing fittings. The facility will cater to Southern markets, as PPFL aggressively continues to expand its pan-India marketing, distribution and manufacturing presence. The company’s other plants are located in Jaipur, Kolhapur, Chennai, Haridwar, Dadra and Athal.

Parag Chheda, Joint Managing Director, Prince Pipes and Fittings Limited said, “Our new integrated pipes and fittings manufacturing facility in Sangareddy has commenced commercial production much before schedule and at an opportune time when the industry is witnessing rapid consolidation." 

The facility has started manufacture of fittings – a high margin product. The plant strengthens PPFL’s strategic presence across India through seven manufacturing units and will serve to scale up our penetration in Southern India, a key region of focus for the company. This will add greater marketing speed, faster local delivery and cost efficiency as freight constitutes a significant part of our cost structure. A major portion of the total capacity is anticipated to be operational by Q2 FY22.”
