Bhansali Engineering Polymers unveiled ambitious plans to significantly ramp up its ABS production capacity.

The board members were briefed on the proposal to boost capacity from 75,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) to 200,000 TPA across the company's existing facilities in Abu Road, Rajasthan, and Satnoor, Madhya Pradesh.

Initially slated for completion by March 2026, the expansion project has encountered delays in the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase.

According to the latest updates, the FEED report, crucial for estimating project costs and finalizing engineering details, was originally anticipated in June 2024.

However, due to extensive consultations with international suppliers to secure cutting-edge equipment like the Slurry Filtration system, Powder Drying system, and Strand Pelletizing system, the timeline has been extended.

TOYO, the engineering firm responsible for the FEED and cost estimation, now expects to deliver the comprehensive FEED package by the end of September 2024.

Despite these delays, management remains committed to adhering to the original schedule, striving to bring the enhanced ABS production capacity online as planned.
