Hindustan National Glass and Industries Ltd (HNGIL) has declared a short-term closure of Furnace No. 8 at its plant in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. The firm made it clear that the move is specifically restricted to one furnace and will not affect other processes at the facility, thus enabling uninterrupted production and supply to customers.
Important Highlights:
The shut down of Furnace No. 8 is temporary and part of normal operating procedure, with the balance of the plant's production lines and support functions being fully operational.
HNGIL has several production units throughout India, such as Rishikesh, Sinnar, Bahadurgarh, Rishra, and Naidupeta, catering to a diversified customer base in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, alcoholic beverages, and household segments.
The company's strong infrastructure and high customer base enable it to uphold supply obligations even in periods of planned maintenance or transitory shutdowns.
HNGIL has a track record of taking care of furnace relining and upkeep in a smooth manner, causing minimal disruption to overall production and quality levels.
The company continues to stay committed to safety in operations, quality of product, and prompt delivery, making use of its wide-ranging production network for buffer-relieving localized disruptions.
This periodical shutdown reflects HNGIL's proactive strategy towards plant maintenance and operational resilience, reaffirming its leadership position in India's container glass sector.
