JML Expands Chennai Plant with Focus on Sustainability

JCBL Marrel Tippers Limited (JML), a leader in the manufacturing of specialised trailers, POL tankers and bowsers, special application export-oriented containers, and components for the US & European market is pleased to announce the expansion of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Oragadam, Chennai. This strategic move by JML, a JCBL Group company, underscores its commitment to meeting the growing demand for its diversified, technically complex, High-quality, and Value-added products while reinforcing its dedication to sustainable manufacturing practices.

The facility expansion will boost JML’s production capacity by 25%, enabling the company to better serve its growing customer base. Additionally, this expansion marks a significant diversification in JML’s portfolio, with a focus on delivering products across sectors including Defense, Automotive, Navy, Railways, Construction Equipment, Petroleum Transportation, Mining, Power Transmission, and Earth Moving Heavy Fabrication Components. Since expansion, JML has been able to increase its customer base significantly. In addition to scaling production, the move will generate 200 new local jobs and opportunities for around 40 new suppliers in the south zone, especially Tamil Nadu, further strengthening JML’s contribution to the local economy.

More than 60,000 square feet of facility space has been built and made operational in the first phase in addition to its existing one lakh square feet facility. Further another 50,000 square feet facility has been planned for its second phase expansion. Beyond this, JML’s strategic vision includes an open land reserved approximately 6 acres for its upcoming projects scheduled in FY 2025-26.

Designed with advanced technology, the expanded facility will feature laser cutting equipment, robotic welding systems, CNC Machining, airless painting technology, and heavy-duty EOT cranes to ensure efficient production and superior product quality.

These upgrades will enhance operational efficiency and help JML maintain its reputation for delivering top-tier products in its segment.

Additionally, the plant will implement the lean manufacturing principle, ensuring that every product is produced with precision and accuracy from the outset. This approach will minimize waste, increase efficiency, and provide consistent, high-quality output across all production lines.

A key aspect of the expansion is the incorporation of sustainability initiatives. The facility is already powered by a 300KW solar power system, generating approximately 1,350KW of energy per day. JML is also planning to add an additional 1200 KW solar power system to enhance its green energy generation to 6750 KW per day. In addition, JML is planning to install a Water from the Air System to generate 1500 liters / Day for its captive consumption.

These are significant steps towards the sustainability drive. This renewable energy source will significantly reduce the plant’s carbon footprint and support advancing JML’s green manufacturing goals.

Moreover, JML has dedicated 30% of its plant area to greenery, supported by a robust water management system. The Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) generates nearly 6KL of water every day, which is efficiently piped across the green belt, ensuring self-sufficiency in water requirements and maintaining the lush green areas sustainably.

“At JML, innovation and responsibility go hand in hand,� said Rishi Aggarwal, Managing Director of JCBL Group. “This expansion is about more than scaling up production; it is about creating a greener, more sustainable future for the automotive industry.

By integrating green technologies and adopting the Lean manufacturing principle, we ensure that we can meet growing customer demand while minimizing our environmental footprint.�
