Indian glassmaker Borosil has suspended some operations and reduced production output over energy fears from the Middle East conflict.
It said production of its borosilicate glass furnace for pressware products at Jaipur, Rajasthan, India has been temporarily suspended, while its opal glass furnaces at the same site have been operating at lower capacities.
The company said it received notification from its energy suppliers regarding the restriction of supply of LPG due to a force majeure situation arising from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its consequent imp[act of fuel supply.
Borosil said it was coordinating with oil suppliers and the relevant government authorities to secure the supply of LPG, which is essential for production, to ensure continuity of production activities to a feasible extent.
"We are evaluating the impact arising from the ongoing disruption in the supply of LPG.
"The company is actively monitoring the situation and will continue to update the stock exchanges with any material developments in this regard."
