New Delhi. MSL (Mobility Solutions Limited), a part of JCBL Group, on March 4 announced the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Batauli, Punjab, to tap into new market potential across multiple industries with advanced composites solutions.
Spanning over 41,700 square metres, with a covered area of 12,000 square metres, this advanced facility now extends beyond Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) manufacturing to provide different advanced composites solutions for railways, automotive, defence, aerospace and infrastructure sectors. This major upgrade reflects MSL’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and economic growth. Commercial production at the upgraded plant commenced in December 2024, with plans to achieve full operational capacity by July 2025.
This facility marks a significant milestone in MSL’s journey, backed by more than two decades of expertise in FRP parts manufacturing. Originally launched in 2004 to cater to captive needs, MSL has evolved into a leading supplier of advanced composites solutions for metro projects, railways, and global clients, including Alstom and Wabtec.
Batauli was chosen for its strategic proximity to JCBL Group’s other manufacturing hubs, availability of skilled labour, and efficient access to transportation networks. The new facility currently employs over 150 personnel and plans to expand to include new product lines. It will contribute significantly to local economic growth and the national exchequer.
The Batauli facility aims to:
- Advance MSL’s product offerings to cater to railways, automotive, defence, aerospace and infrastructure sectors.
- Establish a Centre of Excellence, integrating R&D, tooling, prototyping, manufacturing, and testing under one roof.
- Triple production capacity to meet growing domestic and international demands.
- Support sustainability through lightweight, durable and low-maintenance composites solutions.
The plant incorporates several green initiatives, including renewable energy systems, advanced water conservation techniques, and a waste reduction program. A solar energy system is currently in progress, further reinforcing MSL’s commitment to sustainability. These initiatives align with MSL’s broader goal of reducing environmental impact and supporting global sustainability efforts
