July 2026 : To anchor its technical capabilities closer to the Indian market, Lubrizol has officially inaugurated its Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Lab at its Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) Compounding facility in Dahej, Gujarat.

The launch of this high-quality, localized testing infrastructure marks a pivotal shift for the regional manufacturing ecosystem. By intertwining testing, validation, and real-time decision-making on-site, the facility is geared to deliver faster response times and establish a tighter alignment with India’s rapidly evolving regulatory standards. As the regional CPVC market scales up to meet surging infrastructure demands, having a localized hub for advanced testing moves from a structural luxury to a central operational necessity.

Reflecting on the importance of local infrastructure, Binay Agrawal, Business Director of Lubrizol CPVC, IMEA, noted: "Building capacity is important. Building capability is critical. With the BIS lab at Dahej, we are focused on bringing testing, validation, and decision-making closer to the market; supporting faster action and stronger confidence across the ecosystem. We were glad to mark this milestone in the presence of our long-standing partner Ashirvad by Aliaxis."

The collaborative spirit of the inauguration was underscored by the presence of Ashirvad by Aliaxis. Their involvement reflects a deeply shared commitment to elevating quality benchmarks across the Indian plumbing and industrial sectors, establishing a blueprint for a future-ready testing ecosystem.

Ultimately, this facility is about more than just checking compliance boxes; it represents a proactive step by Lubrizol to reshape how the entire ecosystem operates, driving confidence and structural reliability from the ground up.
