| Comments |
Mauritius adopted polymer for this denomination as part of a broader security upgrade, with De La Rue producing the substrate rather than sourcing it from Innovia (now CCL Secure), the Australian firm that pioneered Guardian polymer. De La Rue developed its own Safeguard polymer platform to compete directly in that market, and the Mauritian issue was among the early commercial rollouts of that technology.
The 25-rupee face value sits in an awkward middle position in the Mauritian series — high enough to warrant enhanced security, low enough that heavy daily handling accelerates surface wear more noticeably on polymer than on cotton-linen stock.
