Sekisui Chemical Co. Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) has decided to establish sixth injection-molding plant in India for Sekisui DLJM Molding Pvt. Ltd., which manufactures and sells injection molded products for automobiles in Pune, Maharashtra in western India. The investment for establishing the new injection-molding plant is approximately $3 million, and it is expected to go into operation in January 2026.
Sekisui DLJM Molding was established as a joint venture with Dipty Lal Judge Mal Private Limited, a local company, in August 2011 and commenced operations. Since then, the area of business has expanded in conjunction with increasing motorization in India. This supported Sekisui Chemical‘s decision to establish a new injection-molding plant in the Pune area, where many automobile manufacturers are concentrated and growth is expected. As a result, production capacity in India will increase by approximately 15% and business will expand even further.
