BLS Polymers
BLS Polymers, a part of the BLS Group, is a manufacturer of multiple grades of custom formulated polymer compounds, which is used as an essential raw material for sheathing, jacketing and insulation of wires and cables used in power, telecommunication and railway industries as well as coating of underground oil, gas and water pipelines, in order to provide a protective infrastructure from corrosion and external environmental factors.
Product portfolio of the company is well diversified to offer varied solutions in the wire and cables and infrastructure industry, and included products such as, high density polyethylene compounds (?HDPE?), medium-density polyethylene compounds (?MDPE?) and linear low-density polyethylene compounds (?LLDPE?), cross-linked polyethylene compounds (?XLPE?), halogen free flame retardant compounds (?HFFR?), polyvinyl chloride compounds (?PVC?), cable filling compounds (?CFC?) and adhesive coating compounds. The company in the year 2022, with a view to capitalize the opportunity to offer specialised products, diversified its business operations by developing polyethylene pipe coating and adhesives for 3LPE applications in the pipe coating industry.
Of the FY26 operational revenue about 80.93% is from wires and cables (W&C) and balance 19.07% is from industrial pipelines. Of the FY26, operational revenue about 52.71% is from PE (HDPE/MDPE/LLDPE/CFC/HFFR/MB/PP), 14% is from XLPE, 1.47% is from PVC and 31.83% is from others.
In addition to its product portfolio, on a case-to-case basis, it also develops products that are customised to cater to a specific requirement of its customers. During Q1FY27 and FY26, the revenue earned from HDPE and adhesive coating compounds and halogen free flame retardant compounds constituted an aggregate of 26.80%% and 19.07% respectively.
The company as on Aug 31, 2026, manufactures six products in 127 grades across its product segments. The company caters to diversified critical industries such as telecommunication, power, railways, water, oil and gas distribution, among others. Of the FY26, 35.1% is from telecommunication, 14% is from power, 16.93% from water distribution, 2.14% from O&G and balance 31.83% is from others.
HDPE, MDPE and LLDPE compounds are used in the wire and cable industry which offer insulation, sheathing and jacketing based on the indicative requirement of the customer. compounds add qualities such as strength, high voltage insulation and resistance, fire resistance and moisture resistance, as per the application of the end use product. In the wire and cable industry, polymers serve crucial functions in electrical insulation, mechanical protection, and overall cable performance. HDPE and adhesive coating compounds are key layers of 3LPE (three layer polyethylene) system (?3LPE Coating? i.e. Pipe Coating) used for coating of oil, gas and water distribution pipelines. 3LPE Coating is an effective solution for protecting high-capital-intensive pipelines from corrosion, chemicals and moisture, thereby ensuring long-term durability.
It served more than 190 customers across power cables, telecommunication and infrastructure industries, out of which 100 have been associated with it for a period of more than three years.
