Rain Carbon aims to tap into this growth while also reinforcing its strong relationships with suppliers and customers in the Indian market.

Rain Carbon has already secured all necessary regulatory approvals, including environmental clearances, ensuring that the facility meets sustainability standards. This expansion is aligned with Rain Carbon's ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainable practices, further solidifying its position as a global leader in coal tar distillation.
