Vedanta plans to invest around $550 million in AvanStrate
Vedanta Limited is set to invest approximately $550 million in its group company, AvanStrate Inc. (ASI), a global leader in display glass manufacturing. Earlier this year, Vedanta acquired a 98% stake in ASI, and this new investment is aimed at driving innovation and expanding ASI’s capabilities in research and development (R&D), manufacturing, and product offerings.
AvanStrate operates in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan and is focused on developing next-generation glass products for advanced packaging. These innovations are expected to cater to high-growth sectors such as semiconductors, biotechnology, automotive displays, and other emerging industries.
Vedanta sees the strategic investment as an opportunity to strengthen its position in the high-tech sector, including advanced display glass solutions. The global specialty glass market, which is currently valued at $42 billion, is projected to grow to $60 billion by 2030. AvanStrate’s advanced manufacturing facilities and strategic partnerships place it in a strong position to meet this growing demand and contribute significantly to the global supply chain.
The company also highlighted AvanStrate's exploration of technological collaborations to enhance its market offerings and drive further advancements in glass technology.
