On 23rd April 2026, Himadri inaugurated its first anode material production facility at Mahistikry, West Bengal, with an initial capacity of 200 MTPA.

The facility utilises a specially engineered high-purity coal tar pitch, produced entirely in-house, ensuring superior quality and performance.
Additionally, Himadri commenced operations at a new 70,000 MTPA Speciality Carbon Black line at Mahistikry, scaling the total Carbon Black capacity to 250,000 MTPA. This development positions Mahistikry as the world’s largest single-location Speciality Carbon Black facility, enhancing Himadri’s ability to serve high-value applications across various industries.
The company’s CMD and CEO, Mr. Anurag Choudhary, was honoured with the Business Today India’s Best CEO Award 2026 in the Chemicals category. Himadri also received several prestigious recognitions, including the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for sustainability and the ISCC PLUS certification for responsible manufacturing.
