TCPL Packaging to Enter Lithium-Ion Battery Separator Film Manufacturing
TCPL Packaging will manufacture lithium-ion battery separator films via a subsidiary, investing ₹125 crore over 18 months. Initial capacity is 70 million sq. meters/annum, scaling to 500 million sq. meters in 5-7 years. Commercial production is targeted for Q4 FY2028. The company also reported Q1 FY2027 standalone profit after tax of ₹37.63 crore and consolidated profit after tax of ₹40.01 crore.
Entering a new, high-growth industry like battery components represents a significant strategic shift and potential for future revenue streams, which will have a substantial impact on the company's long-term prospects.
The company is diversifying into a high-growth sector (lithium-ion battery components) with a significant investment and expansion plan, which is a positive strategic move. The financial results for the quarter are also solid.
TCPL Packaging Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on August 11, 2026, approved entering a new line of business: the manufacturing of lithium-ion battery separator films. This will be undertaken through a proposed subsidiary company. These separator films are critical components for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) batteries used in electric vehicles and energy storage.
The new venture leverages TCPL's existing capabilities in specialized films and precision manufacturing. The initial phase will establish a manufacturing capacity of 70 million square meters per annum, supporting 6-8 GWh of lithium-ion battery cell production. The company plans to scale this to approximately 500 million square meters annually over the next 5-7 years.
The project is expected to be implemented over 18 months, with an investment of approximately ₹125 crores. Commercial production is targeted for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028. The Board also approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, TCPL Packaging reported standalone revenue from operations of ₹473.97 crore and a profit after tax of ₹37.63 crore. On a consolidated basis, revenue from operations stood at ₹492.97 crore, with a profit after tax of ₹40.01 crore.
