Uflex Ltd, one of India’s largest packaging companies, has shared an important business update in its Q1FY26 presentation. The company revealed that its total global production capacity has now reached 1.4 million MTPA, which means 1.4 million metric tonnes per annum. This number shows the large scale of Uflex’s operations across different countries and business segments.
The latest update reflects the company’s strong position in the global packaging market. It also shows how Uflex continues to expand its business while also putting major focus on sustainability and recycling projects.
Strong Global Presence Across Multiple Countries
Uflex has built a wide international network over the years. At present, the company operates 18 manufacturing facilities spread across 9 countries and covers business operations on 5 continents.
This wide presence gives Uflex access to customers in many important global markets. The company has created a strong reputation in the packaging sector by building an integrated business model that covers several parts of the packaging supply chain.
Its business includes packaging films, flexible packaging products, aseptic liquid packaging, resins, adhesives, inks, and holography solutions. Because of this diversified structure, Uflex serves clients from multiple industries around the world.
Total Production Capacity Reaches 1.4 Million MTPA
The company’s total global manufacturing capacity now stands at more than 1.4 million MTPA. This reflects the large scale at which Uflex operates today.
Among all business divisions, packaging films account for the biggest share. The base packaging films segment has a production capacity of 636,160 MTPA.
The resin business follows closely with total capacity of 463,020 MTPA. Flexible packaging contributes another 100,000 MTPA to the company’s total production strength.
In the aseptic liquid packaging segment, Uflex currently has a capacity of 98,400 MTPA. This division helps the company serve beverage and liquid product manufacturers.
The inks and adhesives division adds another 69,730 MTPA. Apart from that, holography solutions contribute 20,600 MTPA to total capacity.
These numbers highlight the company’s strong industrial base and its ability to handle large production volumes across many product categories.
Big Focus on Sustainability Projects
Apart from business expansion, Uflex continues to focus heavily on environmental sustainability. The company has put special attention on plastic waste recycling through its initiative called Project Plastic Fix.
As part of this effort, Uflex recycled 586 million post-consumer recycled PET bottles during FY26. This shows the company’s serious commitment toward waste management and plastic recycling.
The company also processed 10,237 metric tonnes of post-consumer recycled multi-layer plastic waste. Multi-layer plastic usually creates recycling challenges across the industry, so this achievement highlights Uflex’s technical strength in this area.
At present, Uflex operates 6 recycling facilities globally. These units help the company reduce waste while also creating reusable packaging material.
New Recycling Plant Starts Operations in Noida
Uflex has recently expanded its recycling business with a new facility in Sector 155, Noida, India. This plant officially started operations on 30 April 2026.
The new facility has a recycling capacity of 36,000 MTPA for recycled PET chips, commonly called rPET chips. These recycled materials play an important role in sustainable packaging production.
The plant also has a recycling capacity of 3,600 MTPA for recycled multi-layer plastic waste, known as rMLP.
This new facility strengthens Uflex’s long-term sustainability strategy and helps increase domestic recycling capacity in India.
Major Investments for Future Expansion
The company has also made significant investments in expansion projects across multiple countries. These capital expenditure plans show that Uflex wants to strengthen its market position even further.
One important investment went toward an aseptic packaging facility in Egypt. The company spent ₹1,009 million on this project.
In Mexico, Uflex invested ₹480 million in a woven polypropylene bag manufacturing facility. This project helps the company serve industrial packaging demand in international markets.
The company also spent ₹697 million on the newly launched recycling facility in Noida.
These investments show Uflex’s confidence in long-term demand growth across global markets.
Large Dharwad Expansion Project in Karnataka
One of the biggest expansion announcements from the company is a new BOPP film manufacturing line in Dharwad, Karnataka.
This upcoming facility will add production capacity of 54,000 MTPA. For this project, Uflex has planned capital expenditure of ₹7,154 million.
This makes it one of the company’s major future investments. Once completed, the new line will further strengthen Uflex’s packaging film business, which already represents its largest production segment.
The Dharwad expansion may also help the company meet rising demand from domestic and international customers.
What This Means for Uflex’s Future
The latest Q1FY26 presentation shows that Uflex remains focused on long-term business growth. The company has built a strong global manufacturing network, expanded production capacity, and continued large investments in sustainability.
Its 1.4 million MTPA global production capacity highlights the scale of operations the company has achieved over time.
At the same time, projects such as the Noida recycling facility and Project Plastic Fix show that Uflex wants to balance business growth with environmental responsibility.
The company’s expansion projects in India, Egypt, and Mexico also reflect management confidence in future demand.
Overall, this latest update presents Uflex as a company that continues to grow steadily while strengthening its position in global packaging and recycling markets. With new facilities, higher production capacity, and major investments, the company appears well prepared for the next phase of growth.
