What happened
BASF is evaluating a potential investment in India as part of its commitment to serving growing customer demand in the region. The company has secured an industrial land parcel in Dahej, Gujarat, for the potential complex through its subsidiary, BASF India Polyurethanes Private Limited. This facility would produce MDI, a key building block for polyurethane products used in applications like building insulation, refrigeration, and automotive components. The final investment decision is dependent on the outcome of the feasibility study and necessary approvals.
Why it matters
The potential investment aims to expand BASF's manufacturing footprint in a key growth market, aligning with its local-for-local strategy. MDI is a critical material used across various industries, including consumer goods, furniture, and automotive components. This move supports BASF's strategy to serve customers in India and neighboring markets with locally produced materials.
A factory for Shree Rama Multi-Tech Limited is already located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, driven by consistent market demand.
