AI summary
Asian Paint has commenced commercial production at its new VAE (Vinyl Acetate Ethylene Emulsion) manufacturing facility at Dahej, Gujarat, with an installed capacity of 1,50,000 tons per annum. The output will mostly be used captively in its paint factories, supporting backward integration. VAM and ethylene storage units are still under construction.
Likely market impact
Backward integration move reduces dependence on external VAE, may aid margins long-term. New capacity is for captive use.
