Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd. (GFL), part of the INOXGFL Group, has announced its strategic intent to expand refrigerant capacity and fully utilise its refrigerant gas entitlement under the Montreal Protocol and the Kigali Amendment.
The company, which has over three decades of expertise in refrigerant gases, said it is well positioned to capitalise on growing demand for refrigerants driven by rising adoption of air-conditioning in India and international markets, backed by its integrated manufacturing capabilities, global marketing network and customer relationships.
GFL’s refrigerant portfolio currently comprises R32, R22, R125 and R410A. The planned addition of R134A capacity will broaden this basket, allowing the company to address diverse customer requirements, optimise its product mix and maximise utilisation of its designated quota under the Kigali Amendment. GFL said it has all necessary approvals, infrastructure and compliance mechanisms in place for this.
GFL operates from three manufacturing units in Gujarat and a captive fluorspar mine in Morocco, with a product portfolio spanning fluoropolymers, speciality chemicals, refrigerants and bulk chemicals.
Subsidiary for semiconductor-focused chemicals
In another development, GFL announced the incorporation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, GFCL Semiconductor and Advanced Materials Ltd., on June 26, 2026. The new entity focuses on manufacturing specialty chemicals and designing, developing, and manufacturing semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, and electronic components.
The move marks GFL’s strategic pivot into high-tech manufacturing, reducing its reliance on traditional specialty chemicals and refrigerant gases. It allows GFL to enter the semiconductor value chain to meet growing domestic demand for electronic components.
