Knauf India has expanded its manufacturing capacity at its Khushkhera facility by inaugurating a new Metal Line, effectively doubling the plant's overall output. The development reflects the company's broader strategy to enhance domestic production and support the rising demand for drywall and ceiling solutions in India. To mark the milestone, Knauf organised a Dealer Engagement Day, featuring a plant tour, technical showcases, sustainability activities and engagement events. The company emphasised that the new line incorporates advanced technologies aimed at improving accuracy, reducing waste and ensuring consistent product quality.
Knauf India has doubled the production capacity of its Khushkhera plant after launching a new Metal Line earlier this week. The expansion marks a significant step in the company's strategy to reinforce its local manufacturing presence and strengthen supply capabilities in response to increasing demand for high-quality building materials across India.
To commemorate the milestone, the company hosted a Dealer Engagement Day at the Khushkhera facility, bringing together dealers, partners and employees from different regions. The event began with a guided plant tour showcasing the new Metal Line's advanced operational systems. Safety and operations specialists demonstrated the upgraded equipment, which includes sensor-based inspection, precision roll tooling and real-time quality monitoring designed to enhance operational efficiency and product uniformity.
The formal inauguration of the Metal Line was the highlight of the event. The upgraded system is built to deliver a major enhancement in output while reducing material wastage and assembly-related inconsistencies. Knauf said the additions reflected its ongoing investment in sustainability, innovation and continuous improvement of product performance.
During the ceremony, Mr Sumit Bidani, CEO of Knauf India, mentioned that the new Metal Line represented an important milestone in the company's growth, adding that it demonstrated its commitment to innovation, efficiency and strong partnerships. He noted that the Dealer Engagement Day was organised to appreciate the contribution of partners who support the company's mission of delivering excellence to customers.
The event continued with outdoor engagement activities, including a plantation drive emphasising environmental responsibility. Participants later took part in friendly football matches that added a sense of camaraderie and celebration to the occasion. The expansion at Khushkhera is one of several steps taken by Knauf India to scale its manufacturing operations and improve supply efficiencies across the country, particularly as domestic demand continues to rise.
