JPFL Films Private Limited, a subsidiary of Jindal Poly Films Ltd, India’s leading flexible packaging company, has introduced Biaxially Oriented Polyamide (BOPA) Nylon films, becoming the first company in the country to do so. The company has invested Rs 120 crore in its advanced manufacturing facility in Nasik to produce these films.
This product launch aligns with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and is part of JPFL Films’ strategic plan to accelerate growth. The move demonstrates the company’s focus on incorporating advanced technology, improving quality, reducing costs, and enhancing customer satisfaction. This investment also reinforces the company’s dedication to the Indian market.
Dr Mahesh N Gopalasamudram, Deputy CEO (Growth Division) of JPFL Films, stated, “With the introduction of BOPA Nylon Films, JPFL Films has become the first to bring this innovation to India. The films offer superior mechanical properties and aroma barrier features, providing valuable solutions across industries like pharma, medical, FMCG, and food. Notably, these films were entirely imported until now.”
A key feature of the BOPA films is their isotropicity—meaning the product exhibits uniform properties in all directions—thanks to the exclusive Japanese double bubble film technology. This technology ensures dimensional stability, puncture resistance, and consistent quality across the product.
Additionally, the films are suitable for high-speed printing and act as a strong barrier against aromas and gases. “BOPA films are also manufactured by our sister company, Jindal Nylon Films, in Italy. This expertise will help us deliver global innovation to Indian customers,” Dr Mahesh N Gopalasamudram added.
