Nimir Industrial Chemicals Approves Rs. 3 Billion Strategic Investment
Nimir Industrial Chemicals Limited has approved a major capital investment plan worth Rs. 3.0 billion, marking a significant step in the company’s strategy to expand production capacity, enter a new business segment and strengthen its presence in Pakistan’s southern region.
According to a material information disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on September 9, 2026, the company’s Board of Directors approved the new capital expenditures at its meeting held on the same day.
The investment will be directed toward three key strategic initiatives: the establishment of a new Palmitic Acid plant, expansion of the company’s Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) and Chlorine Liquefaction plants, and relocation of an oleochemicals plant from Sheikhupura to Hub, Balochistan.
New Palmitic Acid Business Line
One of the most notable components of the investment is the establishment of a new Palmitic Acid plant. The company stated that Palmitic Acid is used in animal nutrition, particularly for milking cows, and the project will create a new business line for Nimir.
The company also plans to introduce additional products within this segment, potentially allowing it to broaden its product portfolio and diversify its sources of revenue.
CPW and Chlorine Capacity to Be Expanded
Nimir also plans to expand its Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) and Chlorine Liquefaction plants.
The company noted that demand for CPW has increased significantly following its localization in Pakistan and is expected to grow further in the coming years. To respond to this expected demand, Nimir will increase CPW production capacity alongside the chlorine plant, which provides the basic feedstock required for CPW production.
This expansion could enable the company to better serve growing domestic demand while strengthening its position in the local chemicals market.
Oleochemicals Plant to Move to Hub
The third initiative involves relocating one of Nimir’s oleochemicals plants from Sheikhupura to Hub, Balochistan.
According to the disclosure, the relocation is intended to strengthen the company’s presence in the southern region and support local demand. The new location is also expected to improve export opportunities by providing access to sea routes.
The move could therefore provide strategic logistical advantages for the company, particularly as it seeks to expand its reach beyond its existing operating base.
Benefits Expected From FY28
Nimir expects the benefits from these capital expenditures to begin materializing from FY28 onward.
The combined investment represents a broad expansion strategy rather than a single capacity enhancement. By adding Palmitic Acid production, increasing CPW and chlorine capacity, and relocating an oleochemicals facility closer to southern markets and export routes, the company is positioning itself for potential long-term growth.
For investors and industry observers, the Rs. 3 billion commitment highlights Nimir Industrial Chemicals’ focus on capacity expansion, product diversification and improved geographic reach. The projects will take time to deliver their full impact, but the company expects their contribution to become visible from FY28.
In summary, Nimir’s latest investment plan reflects an ambitious effort to build new business lines, respond to rising chemical demand and strengthen its export potential.
