MEDIA RELEASE

October 25, 2021, New Delhi Vikas Ecotech Limited is pleased to share updates on the Flame Retardant business.

The Company has been producing Flame Retardants since the nascent age of this concept in India and I think the time to reap the results of the initiative has come. While in view of the increasing awareness Flame Retardancy in the materials used by the buyers like Indian Railways and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has been made mandatory, this application segment for our product has shown all the symptoms of a robust growth and significant future prospects.

The CEO Dr. Dinesh Bhardwaj explained “Flame Retardants are the materials which are added to a base material be it Plastics, Rubbers, for an exponential arena of final products ranging from the Leather for synthetic carpets, seats in public transit systems, to automotive floor mats, to conveyer belts, to artificial marbles and many more product applications where fire safety is a primary concern. Rather the awareness has moved towards using the even safer Halogen Free & Low Smoke Flame Retardants”

VEL team has gained significant presence in the prominent application segments for Flame Retardants with customers like Havell’s India Ltd., Polycab India Ltd, Mahindra CEI Automotive Ltd, Arvind Ltd., Kkalpana Industries (India), KEI Industries Ltd., RR Kabels , and many more. Considering the rising demand and a consistent growth in the sales of our Flame Retardants, we have assigned a capex of Rs. 2 Cr. for this increasing our capacities by 3 folds as compared to the current levels and another Rs. 6 Cr. to address the working capital requirements.

The technical team has already identified the equipment and the suppliers and the orders a major part of the equipment required for the planned expansions have been finalized. We are glad to share that we have planned to add some world class equipment being sourced from the segment leaders and specialist equipment manufacturer like ECON of Austria. The sophisticated and ultra-refined manufacturing facility will facilitate produce materials which will offer the best precision materials offering a very consistent performance in the final product manufacturing process, apart from easy to use material forms, which can cover newer application areas for Flame Retardants compounds, which in return will fetch a wider audience for our products.
