Investment of over AED 100mn
Xpro India Limited, part of the Birla conglomerate and a producer of dielectric films used in capacitors, is establishing its first global manufacturing unit called Xpro Dielectric Films in Ras Al Khaimah. From being the first mover in dielectric film manufacture in India, this is a momentous step in the company’s strategy to expand its global footprint.
The greenfield project underway in Al Ghail Free Zone, Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), represents an approximate initial investment of over AED 100mn and is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2025.
The facility will produce 4,500 tons of dielectric films annually using state-of-the-art machinery. The investment will account for around 33% of the total capacity under Xpro’s umbrella and create around 80 new jobs in the emirate.
“We believe we have made an appropriate, informed choice for Ras Al Khaimah to shape our aspirations for a global position and recognition,” stated Sidharth Birla, Chairman, Xpro India Limited.
