Leading FMCG company Dabur India will make an investment of Rs. 135 crore for setting up a new manufacturing facility in South India. This new unit would manufacture a range of Dabur’s Ayurvedic Healthcare, Personal care and Home Care products like Dabur Honey, Dabur Red Paste and Odonil air fresheners.
This new project will mark Dabur’s first investment in South India and will add to its existing network of 13 domestic manufacturing locations. Dabur is scaling up its business in South India, which today accounts for around 18-20 per cent of its domestic business. With South India’s contribution increasing, the company decided to establish a new manufacturing facility there to better cater to the local demand.
“The Board today approved an investment of Rs. 135 crore for establishing this greenfield facility. This is not only an opportunity to bring more jobs to the region, but also allows us to further expand our manufacturing capabilities and meet the growing need for Dabur products in South India,” said Mohit Malhotra, Dabur India’s Chief Executive Officer.
As part of Dabur’s strong commitment to ‘Green Enterprise’ principles, the new facility will incorporate energy conservation in its design and operation. Special focus is also being given to the environment with the company planning to construct an energy efficient building besides deploying state-of-the-art technology for effluent treatment.
