Bhavana Bindra, Managing Director, India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA), heads Lubrizol, a global leader in specialty chemicals, which signed an Memorandum of Understanding [MoU] to purchase a 120-acre plot in Aurangabad, where it plans to construct a manufacturing facility to support the region’s transportation and industrial fluid markets. The initial phase of the project represents a projected investment of about $200 million - the company’s largest ever in India. The plant will become the company’s second-largest manufacturing facility globally and its largest manufacturing facility in India when completed. In 2023, Lubrizol announced its most significant investment in its over 50-year history in the region in the form of a USD 150 million pledge. That investment supports the construction of the world’s largest CPVC resin plant in Vilayat, Gujarat, the doubling of capacity at Lubrizol’s site in Dahej, Gujarat, opening of a grease lab in Navi Mumbai and additional in-country job growth and innovation. Lubrizol is a global supplier of chemical additive technologies.
