Viscose Staple Fibre

[Disclosures under Regulation 46 and 62 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015]

Grasim is India's pioneer in VSF — a man-made, bio-degradable fibre that is fast emerging as a sustainable alternative to cotton. A versatile fibre, VSF is used in apparel, home textiles, dress materials, knit wears and non-woven applications. Our Birla Cellulose range of fibres can be used in their original form, or can be blended with all natural and synthetic fibres for enhanced comfort and feel.

Starting production in 1954 at our Nagda facility, the business has grown steadily over seven decades. The Cellulosic Fibres Business derives its competitive edge from its integrated business model, with captive raw materials - dissolving grade wood pulp, caustic soda, carbon-disulphide, power generation and steam.

VSF Capacity stands expanded to 824KTPA post brownfield expansion at Vilayat and debottlenecking at three sites.
