L’Oréal Plans to Increase Production in India; Total Energies Set to Boost LNG Exports from the US to India

Cosmetics giant L’Oréal plans to more than double its production in India over the next few years, increasing from the current output of half a billion units.

Nicolas Hieronimus, the CEO of the global cosmetics brand, met with India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal in Paris to outline the company’s intentions in India, where it is already exporting hair and skin care products to West Asian markets.

The firm aims to enhance the capacity of its existing factories in India, which currently produce 95% of the products it sells domestically and exports in the region.

Piyush Goyal also had discussions with Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total Energies, who is looking to increase LNG sales to India, particularly from the United States, as it works to reduce its trade deficit with various nations.

Following his meeting with the Indian Minister, Pouyanné stated that the company will renew its plans to supply energy from Mozambique to India, where it already maintains partnerships with Indian firms.

Total Energies is also committed to supporting the expansion of Adani Green. Over the past five years, the French energy company has invested approximately $5 billion in India across sectors such as natural gas, city gas distribution (CGD), and the development of gas infrastructure.
