This INR 700 crore investment will boost our production capacity by approximately 25%, adding 500 tonnes per day (TPD) to our existing 2000 TPD capacity, which is currently running at around 95% utilisation. This expansion, expected to be completed within two years, will enhance our ability to deliver tailored solutions to our valued customers, directly addressing the surging demand for glass packaging across key sectors and further strengthening our market position," Rrajesh Khosla, CEO of AGI Greenpac, said, exclusively to WhatPackaging?
