Borosil Share Price Fell Over 6% Today as LPG Supply Gets Restricted

Borosil share price (NSE: BOROLTD) fell sharply on March 12, dropping more than 6% during intraday trade after restrictions were placed on LPG supply.

The stock slipped to around ₹243.6 per share, marking its largest intraday fall since April last year. Later, the shares recovered slightly but were still trading about 4.5% lower.

In comparison, the Nifty 50 index was down around 1% at the same time. The decline also ended the company’s three-day winning streak.

LPG Supply Restrictions Hit Production

The company said it received communication from oil marketing companies about restrictions in LPG supply.

The supply disruption is linked to the ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which have affected global fuel availability.

Because LPG is a key fuel used in its manufacturing process, the shortage has directly impacted operations.

Production Impact at Jaipur Plant

Due to the limited LPG supply, production at the borosilicate glass furnace used for pressware products at the company’s Jaipur facility in Rajasthan has been temporarily suspended.

Meanwhile, the opal glass furnaces at the same plant are operating at reduced capacity, which could affect overall output if the situation continues.

The company said it is working with oil marketing companies and government authorities to secure sufficient LPG supply so that production can continue.

Borosil Share Price Performance 

Borosil share price has fallen around 12% so far in 2026, compared with about 9.5% decline in the broader market.

The company currently has a market capitalisation of nearly ₹2,978 crore.

Expansion Plans Remain Intact

Despite the temporary disruption, the company recently approved plans to expand its manufacturing capacity.

The board has approved:

• Setting up a new manufacturing facility in Gujarat
• Expanding borosilicate glass furnace capacity in Rajasthan
• Increasing production of pressware products from 25 tonnes per day to 32 tonnes per day

These expansions aim to remove capacity constraints, support new product development, and improve operational efficiency.
