The India Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2 percent during the forecasting period of 2023-2029, according to Maximize Market Research. A key player in this growth is Bihar Mica House, established in 1973 as a sole proprietorship. The company is recognized for its diverse range of mica sheets, PTFE, Silicon rubber sheets, PC and PVC.

Bihar Mica House has a rich legacy spanning 51 years, originating in the mica business. "Established by my grandfather, we started with mining contracts in Bihar, bringing mica to Delhi for trading through a small office. In 1982, my father joined the business, diversifying into engineering plastics and rubber products, and leveraging our strong market presence. I joined in 2000, continuing the focus on the same.
Recognizing the expanding market, we began importing products from China in 2004. By 2015, we set up our factory, making PTFE our primary focus. PTFE is a high-performance engineering plastic widely used in various industries due to its heat resistance", shares Vivek Bansal, Proprietor, Bihar Mica House.
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
Over the past seven years, Bihar Mica House has expanded its PTFE operations. It is India's first company to introduce PTFE recycling technology, producing PTFE powder from scrap. Initially focused on exporting to China, it later expanded into semi-finished PTFE products like rods, sheets, and tubes, and now, it manufactures finished components. With 80 percent of its revenue from PTFE, the company invests in advanced technology to meet demand in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and electrical sectors. Supporting the Make in India initiative has reduced PTFE imports to India.
Bihar Mica House addresses key challenges in the PTFE and engineering plastics sector, including ensuring high product quality, managing supply chain consistency, and complying with regulatory requirements. The company accomplishes this through rigorous quality standards, competitive pricing, and the innovative use of recycling technology to lower costs. By offering customized solutions, it minimizes waste and optimizes production for its clients, providing reliable, cost-effective solutions that foster long-term customer relationships and ensure satisfaction.
The client engagement process begins with initial inquiries, followed by requirement gathering and personalized quotations. After providing free samples, the sales team confirms orders and updates clients on production timelines. Rigorous quality control ensures high standards during manufacturing. The packaging team guarantees timely delivery, while a dedicated support team addresses post-delivery concerns and gathers feedback. This structured approach prioritizes client satisfaction and long-term relationships.
Bihar Mica House is just committed to innovation, sustainability, and growth, ensuring that the company remains a trusted leader in the industry
The R&D department at Bihar Mica House plays a vital role in innovating and adapting to trends in the PTFE product segment. This team gathers industry insights, develops advanced solutions, and recommends alternatives to traditional materials, such as aluminum, for high-temperature applications. Under strong leadership, the R&D efforts help maintain a competitive edge through continuous product and process improvements.
"With a team of experienced professionals and deep industry knowledge, Bihar Mica House has built strong relationships with key clients and suppliers, some of which span generations.
