Dhunseri group to build two more poly film units in West Bengal with Rs 1000 crore

Kolkata: Dhunseri Poly Films, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dhunseri Ventures, plans to set up two polyester films units in West Bengal with a projected investment of Rs 1000 crore, Dhunseri group chairman Chandra Kumar Dhanuka said.

The company has one existing poly film making unit in Panagarh Industrial Park in Bardhaman district, 150 km from Kolkata. It became operational in 2024. The proposed units will be set up at the same industrial park.

The fresh plan includes one greenfield unit to produce BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) -- a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate and another unit to produce BOPP (bi-axially oriented polypropylene) which is used in the packaging industry.


"Capex of these two lines are likely to be financed with a 70:30 debt equity ratio and be commissioned by FY29," Dhanuka said.

The units in Jammu are expected to be commissioned by March 2027, he said.
