Saint-Gobain expands low-carbon manufacturing in India with glass and biomass projects

Saint-Gobain's CEO Benoit Bazin told Akashvani that India is becoming a key manufacturing and export hub for the company. Its Chennai plant now produces low-carbon glass, the first in Asia, and an Andhra Pradesh facility uses biomass energy. The company has cut emissions by 35% over six years and aims for net-zero by 2050. Energy efficient building materials from Saint-Gobain can lower power use and carbon emissions in construction. The company exports from India to Gulf countries, Southeast Asia, and Australia. This shift shows how global industrial players are investing in Indian production while reducing their carbon footprint. The article is a short news piece without technical details on the low-carbon glass process or biomass energy specifics. Still, it signals a real trend: multinationals using Indian factories to serve both domestic and export demand with greener products.
