Vinati Organics has successfully completed the first phase of its ATBS (2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) capacity expansion, adding 10,000 metric tonnes to its production capabilities. The company aims to meet growing demand across oil & gas, water treatment, and other sectors with a planned total 50% capacity increase.
Vinati Organics Limited, a leading player in specialty chemicals and organic intermediates, announced the completion of Phase 1 of the ATBS capacity expansion project in August 2025. This phase has successfully added 10,000 metric tonnes of production capacity, reflecting the company’s commitment to scaling operations in response to robust market demand.
The expansion is part of a two-phase strategy to increase ATBS capacity by 50%, from 40,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 60,000 MTPA, with the second phase expected to be operational by April 2026. The total investment for this venture is estimated around Rs 300 crore.
ATBS, a key product for Vinati Organics, finds major applications in tertiary oil recovery, water treatment, personal care, hydrogels, detergents, and mining. Its demand remains significantly higher than supply, ensuring quick absorption of the new capacity. The company currently commands around 60-65% of the global ATBS market.
This capacity augmentation aligns with Vinati's strategy to maintain global leadership through innovation, product diversification, and operational efficiency. The company is also investing in expanding its portfolio with other high-value chemical intermediates under the Veeral Organics brand.
Enhanced capacity and new product lines are expected to contribute to sustainable growth, improved margins, and stronger competitive positioning in international markets.
