TARIL Commits Rs 1,250 Crore to Three Gujarat Facilities
TARIL is investing Rs 1,250 crore in three new manufacturing plants in Gujarat, Manufacturing Today India reported on 27 October 2026. No further breakdown of the capital allocation across the three facilities, or the specific locations within Gujarat, was available from the published report.
The investment places TARIL among the larger single-promoter commitments recorded in the paints and dyestuff sub-sector in recent periods. Projects India tracks 94 live projects in paints and dyestuff across India, with Gujarat accounting for the highest state-level concentration at 24 tracked projects — more than Maharashtra (16), Andhra Pradesh (12) or Karnataka (9).

Gujarat's Position in the Paints and Dyestuff Pipeline
Gujarat's 24 tracked paints and dyestuff projects represent the largest state-level concentration in Projects India's records for the sub-sector. The state already hosts a well-established chemicals and coatings manufacturing base, and TARIL's three-plant commitment reinforces that concentration further.
Among other notable active projects in the broader Industrial Projects sector, Dye and Dyes Intermediates Mfg Facility Unit Project at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, promoted by Akash Colours with a recorded value of Rs 35 crore, is currently on hold. No other Gujarat-based paints or dyestuff projects with open tender activity are recorded in Projects India's current database, and there are zero open India tenders in Industrial Projects at this time.
Sector-Wide Stage Breakdown: Where Projects Stand
Across all 94 paints and dyestuff projects tracked by Projects India, the pipeline is dominated by projects still working through approvals. The stage breakdown is as follows:
- Under Approvals: 38 projects
- Completed: 20 projects
- Construction Started: 16 projects
- Planning: 8 projects
- Approvals Received: 5 projects
- Hold: 4 projects
With 38 projects still under approvals and a further 8 in planning, a substantial portion of the sector's tracked capital has not yet reached the construction phase. Only one new project was added to the paints and dyestuff tracker in the past 90 days, making the TARIL announcement a notable addition to the pipeline.
Selected Projects Active Across Other States
Beyond Gujarat, significant paints and dyestuff investments are progressing in several other states. Berger Paints India Limited is pursuing a Rs 600 crore expansion at Durgapur, West Bengal, currently under approvals. Asian Paints Limited has a Rs 2,070 crore water-based paints project at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh, also under approvals. Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited's Rs 510 crore project at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh has moved into construction. These projects, alongside the TARIL investment, illustrate the breadth of capital being directed toward domestic paints manufacturing capacity.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
TARIL's Rs 1,250 crore outlay across three Gujarat plants represents a meaningful block of potential procurement activity for suppliers of raw materials, plant machinery, construction services and utilities equipment. Gujarat already carries the heaviest project load in this sub-sector with 24 tracked projects, meaning the state offers a concentrated geography for firms already operating or considering a presence there.
The broader pipeline picture reinforces the opportunity. With 38 projects nationally still under approvals and 8 in planning, a significant volume of paints and dyestuff work has not yet reached the tendering and contractor-engagement stage. Suppliers should note that zero open tenders in Industrial Projects are currently live in Projects India's database, but the approvals-heavy pipeline suggests procurement activity could accelerate as projects clear regulatory hurdles.
Firms serving the sector should also monitor activity in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra, which together account for 45 tracked projects. All tracked projects across sectors can be filtered by state and stage to prioritise outreach. With construction started on 16 projects nationally, near-term subcontracting and equipment supply opportunities exist alongside the longer pipeline represented by projects still in approvals.
