Quick Takeaways
- Himadri Speciality Chemical carbon black expansion moves into trial production phase.
- The Mahistikry facility positions Himadri as a global leader in speciality carbon black capacity.
On January 16, 2026, Himadri Speciality Chemical Limited announced progress in its manufacturing roadmap as the Himadri Speciality Chemical carbon black expansion entered trial production at the Mahistikry plant. The company confirmed that trial runs for the expanded facility commenced in December 2025, marking a key step in scaling up specialty materials output.
Details of the Himadri Speciality Chemical carbon black expansion project
The expansion is being executed as a brownfield project at the existing Mahistikry site. It involves the installation of a new specialty carbon black production line with an annual capacity of 70,000 metric tonnes per annum. The company has estimated the capital expenditure for this project at approximately INR 2.2 million.
Capacity impact and global positioning
Once the new line becomes fully operational, the Mahistikry facility will emerge as the world’s largest single-site plant for speciality carbon black in terms of production capacity. This development will increase Himadri’s overall speciality carbon black capacity to 1,30,000 MTPA, significantly strengthening its position in advanced carbon black manufacturing.
Future expansion potential at Mahistikry
Himadri also highlighted that adequate land is available at the Mahistikry site to support future capacity additions. This provides flexibility for further expansion as demand for specialty carbon black applications continues to grow across automotive and industrial segments.
The announcement was made based on the Himadri Specialty Chemicals press release and reflects the company’s continued focus on expanding high-value specialty product capabilities.
