JPFL Films to invest Rs 250-crore by 2025

JPFL Films (Jindal), a flexible packaging giant which is a part of the BC Jindal Group, has announced full capacity utilisation for the capacitor film business. To cater to the growing capacitor market, the company is doubling its capacity. With a capex commitment of Rs 250-crore by 2025, the company is capitalising on the technical success of the films, among various customers in India. The quick turnaround and success are also due to close working collaboration with its own group company, Treofan GmbH.

JPFL has employed advanced machinery capable of modifying the film surface roughness on both sides and creating multiple metalising patterns according to the end-customer needs. A distinctive feature of the capacitor films by JPFL is the film’s high breakdown voltage, a crucial characteristic that has shown consistent improvement through ongoing process refinements. 

Also the company has testing facilities including sophisticated pin-hole testing to ensure that every product meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. The company offers all variants of PP-based capacitor films, base films, hazy films and metallised capacitor films. These metallised capacitor films can be manufactured in various patterns and designs, including impregnated films.

Mahesh N Gopalasamudram, the deputy CEO (growth division), JPFL, said, “This expansion is in line with our aim to contribute to the Make in India initiative of the government thereby reducing import dependency. With the help of advanced machinery and testing facilities, we are working towards supporting the industry to become self-reliant and shorten developmental lead times." 

Gopalasamudram added, "Supplying films with breakdown voltage, shorter lead time, robust supply chain and consistent quality is our commitment to the industry. Our enhanced capacity will ensure a steady supply of locally manufactured world-class technical films, supporting the growth of various industries, including electronics, automotive, and energy storage.”
