Garware Hi-Tech Films reported the start of commercial production on a new paint-protection-film line at Waluj, Maharashtra, on September 24, 2025. Its exchange filing put the estimated total project cost at approximately ₹125 crore.
The line’s stated annual capacity was 300 LSF. Garware defines LSF as lakh square feet, making that 30 million square feet a year. Capacity is a production capability, not a statement that the line produced or sold that quantity in its first year.
The commencement notice followed a capacity-addition disclosure from May 2024. Unlike an investment proposal, this filing reported a production start. It did not provide a final audited project cost or the line’s subsequent utilization rate.
For installers following the PPF supply chain, the development added manufacturing capability in India. The filing alone does not establish changes to distributor inventories, delivery times or retail prices.
