Production Commenced — What It Means
The RHPL Laminate Sheet Manufacturing Unit, located in Mansa, Gujarat, is nearing its final transition to regular commercial production. This facility represents a core component of the company's laminate division, which operates under the flagship VIR brand. While technological upgrades were completed earlier in the year, the transition to full-scale operations was temporarily stalled by technical challenges.
The company now anticipates a stabilized production cycle to begin by the final week of May 2026, marking a return to normalized output for this specific manufacturing hub following a period of modernization.
Path to This Milestone
- Technological upgradation at the Mansa units was initially reported in early April 2026
- Subsequent updates on April 20 indicated ongoing refinements to the manufacturing process
- Current technical hurdles are expected to be resolved within a 10 to 15-day window
- The upgrade aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of the RHPL laminate production line
- Regular commercial operations were delayed from their original April start dates

Financial Context
For the trailing twelve months, Rushil Decor recorded a net profit of 9.44 crore against an operating revenue of 862.08 crore. While the sector has seen a revenue growth of 23.02 percent year-on-year, the company's recent quarterly performance showed a slight contraction in revenue growth.
