CRISIL reaffirmed 'CRISIL A+/Stable' for long-term and 'CRISIL A1' for short-term facilities. Interest coverage ratio was healthy at 6.72x in FY24, with adjusted debt/networth at 0.19x.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
The primary raw materials are polymers, specifically High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which constitute the bulk of the manufacturing cost for plastic drums and containers.
Import Sources
Not specifically disclosed, but the company leverages the bulk procurement capabilities of its parent, Time Technoplast Ltd, which operates globally.
Key Suppliers
Not disclosed in available documents; however, procurement is centralized through the parent company, Time Technoplast Ltd (TTL).
Capacity Expansion
Current total capacity is 36,250 TPA across 5 facilities. Recent growth was driven by the ramp-up of the Dahej Greenfield facility, which contributed to a 23% volume growth in Q2 FY26.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are highly susceptible to fluctuations in global polymer prices. The company manages this through bulk purchasing terms enabled by its parent company's market position.
Manufacturing Efficiency
ROCE improved by 70 bps from 20.3% in FY25 to 21.0% in H1 FY26. The company targets an annual ROCE increase of 1.5% to 2.0%.
Logistics & Distribution
The company maintains facilities at 5 strategic locations (Silvassa, Ratlam, Bhuj, Vizag, Dahej) to optimize distribution to chemical and pharma hubs.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
18.80%
Growth Strategy
Growth is driven by the ramp-up of the Dahej Greenfield facility and rising market demand in end-user industries. The company is investing INR 15 Cr in automation to enhance capacity and productivity while maintaining a strict dividend payout of at least 30% of PAT.
Products & Services
Technology-based industrial packaging products including HDPE drums (20-250 litre capacity), Jerry Cans, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), and small packaging (30ml to 10 litre).
Brand Portfolio
TPL Plastech (subsidiary of Time Technoplast Ltd).
New Products/Services
Focus on Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and technology-based polymer products for the chemical and FMCG sectors.
Market Expansion

Market Share & Ranking
Established market position in the rigid industrial packaging segment in India, supported by the parent company's leadership.
Strategic Alliances
75% of the company is owned by Time Technoplast Ltd (TTL), providing significant managerial, financial, and operational synergies.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward more durable and technology-based polymer packaging like IBCs to replace traditional metal packaging in the chemical sector.
Competitive Landscape
Operates in a competitive landscape with other rigid plastic packaging manufacturers, but benefits from a multi-location manufacturing footprint.
Competitive Moat
The primary moat is the 75% ownership by Time Technoplast, providing a 'parent notch-up' in credit ratings and access to superior procurement terms and technical expertise.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to the growth of the Indian chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which are the primary consumers of rigid packaging.
Consumer Behavior
Industrial consumers are increasingly demanding higher productivity and better supply capability, which TPL is addressing through its Dahej facility.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Complies with Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS 108) for segment reporting and SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company follows standard Indian corporate tax rates; H1 FY26 results show a tax expense of INR 4.14 Cr on a PBT of INR 16.47 Cr (~25%).
Legal Contingencies
The company disclaims liability for consequences arising from decisions based on forward-looking statements; no specific pending litigation values were disclosed.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in polymer prices (raw material) and potential downward rating actions on the parent company (TTL) which would affect TPL's credit standing.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Manufacturing is concentrated in India across 5 states/UTs, with a significant recent reliance on the Dahej facility for growth.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on Time Technoplast Ltd for managerial oversight, financial support, and raw material procurement synergies.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by a planned INR 15 Cr investment in automation and modernizing moulds and machinery.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables quality is generally stable given the established nature of clients in the chemical and pharma sectors, but working capital requirements remain high.
