New Delhi, 30 December 2025: Pluss Advanced Technologies Ltd., a division of Carborundum Universal Limited (CUMI), part of the Murugappa Group, has been recognised at the CII Industrial Innovation Awards 2025.
The company was named Top Innovative Company – Manufacturing (MSME category) and was also featured among the Top 20 Innovative Companies at the awards, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
Pluss was recognised for its work in advanced manufacturing and its contribution to sustainability-led technologies, particularly in areas such as thermal energy storage, SPECIALITY polymers, and energy storage applications. The recognition reflects the company’s focus on translating deep research and engineering capabilities into scalable, real-world solutions. With countries placing greater emphasis on climate change and energy transition, Pluss’ solutions enable the storage of waste heat and cold. Its polymer materials also support the recycling of polymers and mixed film waste—one of the key challenges in addressing plastic pollution and driving circularity.
Samit Jain, Managing Director, Pluss Advanced Technologies Ltd., said, “Innovation has always been central to how Pluss builds, grows, and competes. We invest deeply in research and engineering, not as an end in itself, but to create technologies that solve real-world challenges at scale. This recognition from CII reinforces our belief that sustained innovation—when backed by strong execution and purpose—can create long-term value for both industry and society.”
Driven by a strong R&D backbone, Pluss’ vision is to create measurable impact through continuous innovation in Thermal Energy Storage and Specialty Polymers. Today, over 40 per cent of the company’s revenue comes from developed markets, including the US and Europe, underscoring the global relevance of its innovation-led portfolio.
Pluss follows a “Designed in India, made in India for the World” approach—developing technologies locally and deploying them across international markets to address global sustainability and efficiency challenges.
Pluss Advanced Technologies thanked the CII jury for the recognition and acknowledged the guidance and encouragement received from industry leaders including Vipin Sondhi, Alok Nanda, Dr. Rishikesha Krishnan, Dr. Ashish Mohan, and Naushad Forbes.
The company added that the award reflects the collective effort of its team as well as its strategic investor, Carborundum Universal Ltd., whose technical expertise, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to innovation continue to drive the development of robust, scalable solutions.
