Jindal Poly Films' material subsidiary JPFL Films Private Limited will set up new BOPP, PET and CPP film lines at its Nashik, Maharashtra facility, requiring a capex of over INR 700 crore. The expansion will add 42,000 tonnes per annum of BOPP capacity (Line 10), 55,000 TPA of PET capacity (Line I), and 18,000 TPA of CPP capacity (Line 3) on top of existing capacities of 2,94,200 TPA (BOPP), 1,70,000 TPA (PET) and 33,600 TPA (CPP). Current capacity utilization stands at around 80%. The new lines are expected to be commissioned within 2-3 years, funded through internal accruals and borrowings. This is in addition to the BOPP Line 9 expansion announced in August 2024, and comes as the company posted 43% YoY growth in net revenue during 9M FY25 despite pricing pressures.
This is a sizeable growth-oriented capex that signals management's confidence in long-term demand even amid current sector pricing pressures, and could boost future revenue and market share. However, the 2-3 year gestation period and borrowings component may put some near-term pressure on debt levels and returns.
