Dhunseri Group plans to invest ₹1,000 crore in its Panagarh operations through its subsidiary Dhunseri Polyfilms Pvt. Ltd. (DPFPL).
The investment will support the installation of two new film lines. These include one biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) film line and one biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film line at the company’s existing facility in the WBIDC industrial park, Panagarh, West Bengal.
Manufacturers widely use BOPET and BOPP films in both food and non-food packaging because of their strength, durability, and barrier properties.
“We expect to commission the new lines by March 2027,” said CK Dhanuka, Chairman of Dhunseri Group. The company plans to present the investment proposal to its board for approval by August 2025. It will finance the expansion through a 70:30 debt-to-equity ratio. This approach reflects the group’s strong confidence in market growth and operational scalability.
Production Capacity to Scale Significantly by 2029
With this expansion, DPFPL’s total installed capacity is projected to grow substantially, reaching:
*1,20,000 tons for BOPET films
*2,10,000 tons for BOPP films
Dhunseri already operates a BOPP production line at the Panagarh site, and this investment marks the next phase in strengthening its film manufacturing portfolio.
Ongoing National and International Expansion
Recently, Dhunseri held a stone-laying ceremony for two new BOPP film plants in Kathua, Jammu, signaling its broader national expansion plans. As reported, the company also maintains a PET resin plant in Haldia, operated through a joint venture with Indo Rama Group.
The JV also manages additional PET plants in Egypt and Panipat, further enhancing Dhunseri’s global manufacturing footprint.
