Frequently Asked Questions
About Plastene India
Plastene India Limited is one of India's largest plastic packaging companies, headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Incorporated on 16 December 1998 as Oswal Agloimpex Private Limited, the company was subsequently converted into a public limited company in 2006 and renamed Plastene India Limited. The company holds the CIN U25209GJ1998PLC034861 and is part of the Champalal Group. Plastene India is positioned as India's biggest plastic packaging house, offering comprehensive packaging solutions across a weight range of 25 grams to 2,500 kilograms. This extensive range makes the company relevant to virtually every major industry that uses packaging — from food grains and edible oil to cement, fertilizers, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, salt, and sugar. The company's product portfolio includes woven sacks, flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs or jumbo bags), PP woven bags, HDPE woven fabric, multilayer films, and other industrial packaging solutions. These products are critical inputs for agricultural, industrial, and consumer goods companies across India. For the financial year ending 31 March 2024, Plastene India Limited reported revenue of Rs 532 crore, demonstrating significant scale as an unlisted player. The company employs approximately 634 employees as of mid-2023, reflecting a medium-scale industrial operation. Plastene India's production facilities are located in Usmanpura, Ahmedabad, and Gandhidham (Kutch), Gujarat — both strategically important industrial hubs. Gandhidham is particularly significant given its proximity to Kandla Port, facilitating export-oriented business. The Champalal Group, under which Plastene India operates, has established milestones in the packaging sector and expanded manufacturing capacity progressively. The group also has a presence through the listed entity HCP Plastene Bulkpack Limited (HPBL) which focuses on the FIBC and jumbo bag segment.
