Indian Float Glass Industry Review

The Indian flat glass industry has been dominated by three companies for the past two decades, namely Gujarat Guardian (j-v between Guardian Ind & local business partners), Asahi India and Saint-Gobain. While the former still operates with a single plant, the other two have each added a second float line. However, faced with ever-increasing demand from this vast country, some local businesses have also jumped into the fray, starting three float lines in the past year. Another four lines are in the pipeline, as reported in this article.
