Kemrock Industries and Exports Ltd of Vadodara is in the process of setting up a facility for producing carbon fibres.In six months, when production goes online, it would be the only company in the country producing carbon fibres. The new facility will the help the company enter the estimated $12-billion global carbon fibres market.
At present, 300-tonne capacity, created with Rs 200-crore capex is being fine tuned and once we fully stabilise in six months, then it will start production. By 2013, the company hopes to scale-up production to 2,000 tonnes. Kemrock has also entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) for a joint venture company for developing carbon fibres. Its 300 tonnes would be procured by HAL for aerospace applications.
Carbon fibres are also called carbon fibre-reinforced plastics. It is a strong and light weight composite material, which is increasingly replacing aluminium and other alloys in aerospace, military missile applications, and even the F1 racing car industry. Globally 70 per cent production of carbon fibres is with Japanese companies. These companies are reluctant to supply carbon fibres to India for strategic applications.crackcrack
