Kalpataru Projects International's Board Approves ₹150 Crore Capex for New Rolling Mill at Raipur Plant

Strategic Manufacturing Expansion: KPIL's Raipur Rolling Mill Investment

Kalpataru Projects International Limited's Board approved ₹150 crores in capital expenditure on August 11, 2026, for a new rolling mill at the Raipur Plant. This investment supports the company's backward integration strategy, aiming to streamline manufacturing processes and enhance supply chain control.

Operational Strategy and Scope

This expansion aims to enhance operational efficiency by internalizing key production stages at the existing facility. The project focuses specifically on the installation of a rolling mill unit within the Raipur Plant infrastructure. The move to integrate backward through the addition of a rolling mill suggests a focus on securing supply chain resilience and potentially reducing dependency on external vendors for raw materials or semi-finished goods. By bringing this production stage in-house at the Raipur facility, Kalpataru Projects International Limited aims to optimize cost structures and improve control over quality and timelines for its downstream operations.
