Filatex India to invest Rs 320 cr in Dahej expansion, circular steam project

Filatex India is increasing its leadership in sustainable polyester yarn production with investments of around Rs 320 crores. The company has approved major capacity expansion at its Dahej facility, adding 19,800 MTPA of Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), 28,800 MTPA of Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY), and 14,400 MTPA of Draw Textured Yarn (DTY).

With a capital outlay of Rs 235 crores, the new lines are scheduled for commissioning by August 2026, reinforcing Filatex’s position among India’s top integrated polyester yarn producers.

In a parallel move, Filatex will invest Rs 85 crores in a Steam Power Distribution Project that will distribute 70 TPH of surplus steam from its captive power plant to neighboring industries. Expected to be operational by April 2026, the initiative is projected to save Rs 60 crores annually, promoting energy efficiency and local industrial collaboration.

The company also continues to expand its circular economy efforts through its Ecosis textile-to-textile recycling program and increased renewable energy use. In FY25, Filatex posted Rs 4,252 crore in revenue and Rs 135 crore profit, with sustainability and innovation driving long-term value creation. Backed by robust demand for man-made fibres and government support, Filatex is shaping the next phase of India’s synthetic textile revolution.
