PCBL Chemical, India’s largest carbon black producer and part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, plans to expand capacity by 50 percent across all product lines over the next five years through brownfield expansion in Tamil Nadu, a greenfield project in Andhra Pradesh, and speciality black augmentation.
"Battery chemicals will be a key growth engine as we build an integrated ecosystem through nano silicon, acetylene black and super-conductive grades," PCBL told investors. By FY’30, speciality chemicals are expected to contribute 45 percent of its topline.
PCBL will invest in next-gen chemistries including superconductive carbons, green chelates, biodegradable polymers, and a nano-silicon pilot plant by FY’27. Export volumes have trebled over the last decade with presence in 70 countries. Its sustainability drive includes 122 MW cogeneration capacity, offsetting 2.65 lakh tonne of CO2 annually. Under its 2030 vision, the company aims to double revenue to Rs 16,000 crore and achieve a five-fold profit growth.
