Owens Corning India doubles glass fabric knitting production to meet wind energy market demand


At ICERP 2006 Owens Corning said it has added a second glass fiber knitting line at the Taloja, the Mumbai plant of Owens Corning India Ltd., in a joint venture between Owens Corning, USA and Mahindra & Mahindra, India.

In addition to the Taloja plant’s existing glass roving operations, the new plant will increase the production of sophisticated multi-axial glass fiber fabrics providing Indian customers with innovative solutions and choices to help them compete and succeed both locally and globally.

“This latest expansion of our fabric knitting capacity will benefit India in terms of economic development and energy conservation as our focus in India is aligned with infrastructure development, a national priority,” said Satish Kulkarni, Managing Director for Owens Corning India Ltd. “These highly technical fabrics are used in several key industries but especially for the wind energy market to supply growing demand in India and surrounding regions for continued growth of renewable energy sources such as wind power,” explained Kulkarni.

India’s power generation through wind energy has surpassed 4200MW making it the wind energy leader in Asia. The states of Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are the leading regions for wind power in the country. India obtained the annual World Wind Energy Award 2005 for favorable policies enabling the proliferation of wind energy and emerges as the fourth largest country in the world in terms of a wind power generating nation after Germany, Spain and the US.
