Borosil to set up new glassware manufacturing facility in Gujarat, expand furnace capacity in Jaipur

The plant will manufacture a range of glassware products such as storage jars, glass bottles and glass jugs

Borosil Ltd on Tuesday said its board has approved the setting up of a new glassware manufacturing facility in Bharuch, Gujarat, along with plans to expand borosilicate glass furnace capacity at its Jaipur plant in Rajasthan, as the company looks to cater to rising demand for its products.

The company will invest ₹42 crore to establish the new facility in Bharuch, with commercial production expected to begin by December 2026, subject to necessary approvals. The plant will manufacture a range of glassware products such as storage jars, glass bottles and glass jugs, and will be funded through internal accruals.

Borosil said it has been sourcing several of these glassware products from the Bharuch plant of Borosil Scientific Ltd, and demand across these product categories has been strong and growing. The new unit will therefore feature dedicated mass production lines aimed at catering to the increasing market demand.

Separately, the board also approved an expansion of the borosilicate glass furnace capacity for pressware products at its Jaipur plant. The company currently operates a 25-tonne-per-day (TPD) furnace with two forming lines, with capacity utilisation at about 90 per cent.

Under the plan, Borosil will increase the furnace capacity from 25 TPD to 32 TPD and add a third forming line, involving an estimated capital expenditure of ₹50 crore. The expansion will be aligned with the furnace rebuild cycle scheduled for January 2028.

The company said the capacity enhancement is expected to remove current production bottlenecks, support new product development and portfolio diversification, and improve furnace utilisation and operating efficiency, while also helping lower production costs and strengthen competitiveness.
