UPDATE ON CAPACITY
With regard to proposed expansion of ABS capacity from 75000 TPA to 200000 TPA at existing locations at Abu Road (Rajasthan) and Satnoor (Madhya Pradesh), the detailed Front End Engineering Design (FEED) Package with CAPEX cost estimation was prepared by Toyo Engineering India Private Limited (TOYO) and total cost estimation works out to approx. Rs.1700 crores.
Considering the firm policy of the Company to maintain its “Zero Debt Status” and fund the cost for expansion through own funds and aspects of logistics and safety standards vis a vis proposed expanded capacities at both locations, the expansion proposal was not considered worth implementation.
Alternatively, after study of detailed proposal and internal analysis of productions processes it was observed that there are bottlenecks in some areas limiting the overall ABS production capacity to 75000 TPA. The working on these aspects has given a clear possibility of enhancement of production capacity up to 1,00,000 TPA by taking appropriate actions to eliminate the identified bottlenecks coupled with improvements in certain processes. A feasibility was worked out and the plan of expansion was put at place for implementation capacity expansion from existing 75000 TPA to 1,00,000 TPA.
