DCW Limited unveiled plans for a substantial expansion in its Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) production capacity. This Rs 140 crore investment will increase the company’s annual CPVC output from 20,000 metric tonnes (MT) to 50,000 MT. The expansion is aimed at meeting the rising demand for CPVC, known for its durability and resistance to heat and chemicals, widely used in construction, plumbing, and industrial applications.
The additional 30,000 MT capacity will be achieved through new installations, de-bottlenecking of existing facilities, and process optimization. DCW has adopted a phased rollout plan, with 20,000 MT expected to come online in the latter half of Q2 FY26 and an additional 10,000 MT by the end of FY26. This staggered approach ensures that DCW can maintain stringent quality standards while meeting market demand.
This strategic investment comes at a time when India’s CPVC demand is on the rise, driven by growth in infrastructure projects, housing, and industrial sectors. CPVC is a preferred material due to its superior thermal and chemical resistance, making it ideal for plumbing and industrial piping systems. The company’s expanded capacity will help reduce India’s reliance on CPVC imports, supporting the “Make in India” initiative.
DCW Limited’s President, Saatvik Jain, highlighted the financial prudence of the project. Approximately 30% of the investment will be funded through internal accruals, with the remainder raised via debt. Jain emphasized the company’s “growth-with-deleveraging” strategy, which aims to increase production capacity while keeping debt levels manageable.
