Xpro India to set up $100m manufacturing unit in Ras Al Khaimah

RAS AL KHAIMAH: Xpro India Limited, part of the Birla conglomerate and a producer of dielectric films used in capacitors, is establishing its first global manufacturing unit called Xpro Dielectric Films at Al Ghail Industrial Zone in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.

The greenfield project underway at Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), represents an approximate initial investment of over AED 100 million and is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2025.

The facility will produce 4,500 tonnes of dielectric films annually using state-of-the-art machinery. The investment will account for around 33 per cent of the total capacity under Xpro’s umbrella, and create around 80 new jobs in the emirate.

The new facility will supply to markets in the US, Europe, and the Far East, demonstrating Ras Al Khaimah and UAE’s robust international connectivity.

“Our choice of Ras Al Khaimah for this expansion was significantly persuaded by its welcoming and forward-looking business climate, proximity to efficient transport hubs, and advanced infrastructure. We are optimistic about the long-term vision of our national leaders for multiplying economic and multi-faceted engagements between India and the UAE,” Xpro India Limited Chairman Sidharth Birla, said.
