The newly built, state-of-the-art facility will begin operations upon receiving the Consent to Operate (CTO) from the Tamil Nadu State Pollution Control Board, according to a company statement.

With this expansion, MPL will boost its Propylene Glycol production capacity by 50,000 tonnes per annum (TPA), significantly increasing its existing capacity of 22,000 TPA.

This strategic initiative reinforces MPL’s commitment to the Government of India’s Make in India vision, enhancing domestic manufacturing capabilities and reducing reliance on imports.

“The state-of-the-art facility demonstrates our commitment to sustainable expansion, meeting evolving customer expectations, and reinforcing our market leadership,” said Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman of MPL and Founder-Chairman of AM International, Singapore.

He further added that the expansion aligns with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, reflecting MPL’s focus on strengthening local manufacturing, reducing import dependence, and contributing to a resilient domestic economy.

By leveraging advanced technology and homegrown talent, MPL aims to meet the rising demand for Propylene Glycol from both industrial and consumer sectors, while also positioning India as a competitive player in the global manufacturing landscape.
