Lubrizol and Grasim Open CPVC Resin Plant in India
Lubrizol, together with Grasim Industries Limited, recently inaugurated a Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) resin manufacturing facility in Vilayat, Gujarat.
The new plant, along with the recently enhanced CPVC compounding capacity at Lubrizol’s Dahej facility, creates one of India’s most scalable and integrated CPVC manufacturing footprints, reinforcing leadership in high-performance plumbing and piping solutions.
The Vilayat plant expands Lubrizol’s ability to deliver end-to-end CPVC solutions for India’s growing infrastructure needs, ensuring a reliable, high-quality local supply of CPVC resin and compounds used in pipes and fittings across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. This integrated manufacturing footprint reinforces supply chain resilience while supporting the country’s focus on infrastructure development and safe water delivery. Leveraging Lubrizol’s deep global expertise in quality innovation, the company continues to deliver differentiated, high-performance CPVC solutions that provide long-term reliability and value.
“Lubrizol introduced CPVC technology to India more than two decades ago, and since then, we have witnessed strong growth of the market alongside the country’s expanding economy,” said Abhishek Shrivastav, Managing Director, Lubrizol IMEA. “With the commissioning of this world-class facility in Vilayat, we are strengthening our manufacturing capabilities in India by following a local-for-local approach. This investment underscores our long-term commitment to India by enabling consistent access to high-quality, locally produced materials backed by Lubrizol’s global standards of innovation, reliability, and performance.”
