The partnership is part of RPEL's strategy to build a multi-location manufacturing platform, strengthen its presence in East India, and create a supply network closer to key consumption centres.
The joint venture combines RPEL's patented manufacturing technology, market presence and R&D capabilities with TRL Krosaki's regional strength and quartzite resources in Odisha. TRL Krosaki is backed by Krosaki Harima Corporation and Nippon Steel Corporation, both of Japan.
RPEL currently has a group manufacturing capacity of 534,000 MTPA and a presence across 26 states in India and more than 40 countries. The Odisha facility is expected to expand the company's manufacturing and market footprint in the refractories segment.
