Lubrizol plans to build in Gujarat, India, what it says will be the world’s largest plant for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). The plant, scheduled to start up in 2022 on a site owned by India’s Grasim Industries, will have a capacity of 100,000 metric tons per year.

Lubrizol says it also plans to expand a nearby CPVC plant in the next few years.
