New Delhi: The Board of Directors of Dabur India Ltd approved an investment of Rs 135 crore to set up a new manufacturing facility in South India. This unit will manufacture Dabur’s ayurvedic healthcare, personal care and home care products like ‘Dabur honey, Dabur red paste and odonil air freshners’.
“Our business has scaled up in South India and accounts for 18-20 percent of Dabur’s domestic business. With South India’s contribution increasing, we have decided to establish a new manufacturing facility 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,” Dabur India Ltd CEO Mohit Malhotra said.
As part of Dabur’s commitment to ‘Green Enterprise’ principles, the new facility will integrate energy conservation in its design and operation. Special focus will be given to the environment as the company plans to construct an energy efficient building besides implementing technology for effluent treatment.
