NOCIL Limited drives India’s self-reliance with ₹250 crore Dahej expansion, strengthening rubber chemicals capacity substantially

NOCIL Limited, India’s leading manufacturer of rubber chemicals,  announced the commissioning of its state-of-the-art Pilnox TDQ/-TMQ manufacturing facility at Dahej, Gujarat, India, as part of its previously announced ₹250 crore investment programme to strengthen its rubber chemicals portfolio.

The expansion is expected to enhance NOCIL’s overall capacity, building on its existing base and reinforcing its ability to meet growing domestic and global demand. The facility will manufacture critical anti-degradants under the Pilnox TDQ/TMQ range, essential for tyre durability, performance, and safety and non-tyre applications.

Located within the Dahej PCPIR (Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region), the facility provides strategic access to raw materials, integrated infrastructure, and port connectivity, strengthening supply reliability and global market reach.

The commissioning reflects NOCIL’s continued commitment to investing in advanced manufacturing capabilities. Designed with a strong focus on safety and responsible operations, the plant embeds operational discipline, resource efficiency, and environmental considerations across its manufacturing processes.

The expansion is aligned with NOCIL’s long-term approach of contributing to a more self-reliant rubber chemicals value chain in India, at a time when global supply chains are being redefined.

In a segment where scale, process consistency, and long qualification cycles define participation, NOCIL continues to strengthen its position through sustained investment in manufacturing and technology.

Commenting on the development, Anand V. S., Managing Director, NOCIL Limited, said, “As supply chains evolve, building strong domestic capabilities is a responsibility we take seriously. The facility has been designed with a clear focus on safety and sustainability, embedding energy-efficient processes, responsible resource use, and operational discipline at every level. Our focus remains on building scale with responsibility and a long-term commitment to the ecosystem we serve.”

With this expansion, NOCIL further strengthens its position as a globally competitive Indian manufacturer powering the future of the rubber and mobility ecosystem.
