Dausa, Rajasthan: On the occasion of World Environment Day, Waldies Compound Limited announced the successful completion of Stage-2 trials at its upcoming PVC additives manufacturing facility in Dausa, Rajasthan, bringing the company a step closer to commercial operations at the site.
The new facility, designed with an installed capacity of approximately 25,000 metric tonnes per annum, is expected to commence commercial production later this month and will manufacture a range of PVC additives including calcium-zinc stabilizers, one-pack systems, specialty lubricants, processing aids, and customized additive formulations for the pipe, fitting, profile, wire and cable, and flexible PVC sectors.
The Dausa project represents one of Waldies’ most significant manufacturing investments in recent years and is expected to strengthen the company’s ability to serve customers across North and West India while supporting the growing demand for advanced PVC additive technologies.
Strategically located in Rajasthan, the facility provides direct access to key PVC processing clusters across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, and neighboring industrial regions. The location is also expected to enhance raw material sourcing efficiencies and improve logistics performance.
According to Anil Sharma, President of Waldies Compound Limited, the facility will play an important role in strengthening the company’s supply chain capabilities.
“The Dausa facility represents a strategic shift in how we serve the Indian PVC industry. With manufacturing now established in Rajasthan, we are significantly strengthening our supply chain reach across North-West India, including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh and adjoining markets. This will improve delivery responsiveness, reduce logistics lead times, and enable us to support customers more efficiently while creating a stronger manufacturing backbone for future growth.”
The company stated that the successful completion of Stage-2 trials validates key process parameters and operational readiness ahead of commercial production.
Beyond manufacturing capacity, the project is expected to support Waldies’ long-term focus on innovation in PVC stabilization and specialty additive technologies.
Dr. Tanya Das, PhD, Head – Research & Development at Waldies, highlighted the evolving technical landscape of the additives industry.
“The PVC additives industry is undergoing a significant technological evolution. Beyond conventional stabilization systems, increasing attention is being directed towards advanced mineral-based additives, functional fillers, nanomaterials, and performance-enhancing technologies that can improve thermal stability, processability, durability, flame performance, and long-term product life. Rajasthan’s proximity to some of India’s richest mineral resources creates a unique ecosystem for innovation and development. The Dausa facility provides us with an excellent platform to accelerate research into next-generation additive technologies while supporting the industry’s transition towards higher-performance and more sustainable formulations.”
The announcement on World Environment Day also reflects the industry’s broader transition toward sustainable and environmentally responsible additive technologies. Demand for calcium-zinc stabilizers and other non-lead formulations continues to rise globally as processors increasingly seek products that align with evolving environmental and regulatory requirements.
Founded in 1858, Waldies Compound Limited operates across PVC additives, lead chemicals, paints, and specialty chemicals. Upon commissioning, the Dausa facility is expected to become a key manufacturing hub supporting the company’s future growth and strengthening its presence within India’s expanding PVC value chain.s landscape while supporting the growing requirements of processors across multiple end-use industries.
