NOCIL Limited, India’s leading manufacturer of rubber chemicals, has announced the commissioning of a new Pilnox TDQ/TMQ production facility at Dahej, Gujarat. The development is part of the company’s previously disclosed ₹250 crore investment program aimed at expanding capacity and reinforcing its position in both domestic and global markets.
The newly operational plant will manufacture anti-degradants under the Pilnox TDQ/TMQ range, which play a critical role in enhancing the durability, safety, and performance of tyres as well as various non-tyre rubber applications. With this addition, NOCIL strengthens its ability to address increasing demand from India’s growing automotive sector while also catering to international markets. Strategically located within the Dahej PCPIR, the facility benefits from access to key raw materials, robust infrastructure, and efficient port connectivity. These
The commissioning marks another milestone in NOCIL’s ongoing efforts to invest in advanced manufacturing capabilities. The facility has been designed with a strong emphasis on safety, operational discipline, and environmental responsibility. Energy-efficient systems, optimized resource utilization, and stringent process controls have been integrated across operations to ensure sustainable production practices.
This expansion aligns with NOCIL’s long-term strategy of supporting a more self-reliant rubber chemicals value chain in India. At a time when global supply chains are undergoing significant shifts, the company continues to focus on building domestic manufacturing strength to reduce dependency on imports and enhance resilience.
In an industry characterized by stringent quality standards, scale requirements, and extended product qualification cycles, NOCIL’s investment underscores its commitment to technological advancement and consistent product performance. The company aims to further consolidate its leadership position through continuous capacity expansion and process innovation.
