Toyo Ink expands India capacity

Toyo Ink India has announced plans to expand liquid ink production at its Gujarat plant by approximately 1.5 times to meet growing demand from the country's packaging market, with operations scheduled to begin in 2028.

The Artience Group member cites India's expanding middle class and changing dietary habits as key drivers for packaging market growth in the world's most populous country. The Gujarat facility is currently operating near full capacity amid surging domestic demand.

'This expansion marks a pivotal step in our journey to lead India's liquid ink market. By scaling up capacity and strengthening our sustainable portfolio, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet evolving customer needs,' said Shekhar Barua, head of the liquid ink and plastic colorant business units at Toyo Ink India. 'Our Gujarat plant will not only serve India but also position us as a regional export hub for future growth.'

Toyo Ink India launched liquid ink operations in 2011 as an import business before beginning local production at its Delhi plant in 2013. The Gujarat facility commenced operations in 2021. The company has increased its market share by introducing products tailored to the Indian market requirements.
