BASF will build a plant to make catalysts for cars and motorcycles at its site in Chennai, India. The plant will include nine production lines and employ about 300 people when it opens in 2015. Demand for car catalysts in India is growing as a result of stricter emissions regulations, BASF says.

Scheduled to open in early 2015, it will complement Topsøe facilities in Denmark and Houston.
