BASF India Limited is set to boost the production capacity of its Ultramid® polyamide (PA) and Ultradur® polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) compounding plant located in Panoli, Gujarat, and Thane, Maharashtra. Additionally, the company inaugurated its Polyurethane Technical Development Centre India in Mumbai on May 28, aimed at fostering market development for polyurethane applications across various industries including transportation, construction, footwear, appliances, and furniture.

“The capacity expansion of Ultramid and Ultradur in Panoli and Thane, as well as the inauguration of the Centre shows our commitment to enhancing local production and capabilities.
