Carbon black is a key input for the rubber processing and chemicals industry. Its largest use is in the manufacture of tyres, and it is also used to produce paints, dyes, inks and conveyor belts. Hi-Tech Carbon is the second largest producer of carbon black in India. It has 33 per cent of the domestic market share having its manufacturing facility at Renukoot in Uttar Pradesh and at Gummidipoondi, near Chennai, in Tamil Nadu. The combined capacity stands at 2,30,000 mtpa.

Both the units are certified ISO-TS16949; ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. The coveted Deming Award for Quality (2002) was conferred on the carbon black unit at Gummidipoondi by the Deming Prize Committee (JUSE), Japan. This unit also has the ISO17025 NABL certificate to its credit.
