Godrej Consumer Invests Rs 515 Cr in New Tamil Nadu Plant
New Delhi: Leading fast-moving consumer goods company, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. (GCPL), announced a significant stride in its expansion plans as it sealed a collaborative agreement with the Tamil Nadu government. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) paves the way for the establishment of a cutting-edge manufacturing facility in the state, marked by a substantial investment of Rs 515 crore over the course of the next five years.
The proposed facility, strategically situated in Thiruporur Taluk within the Chengalpattu vicinity, in close proximity to Chennai, is poised to facilitate enhanced access to the thriving southern markets. This upcoming plant will serve as a dedicated hub for the production of GCPL’s cornerstone brands, including renowned names like Cinthol, Godrej Expert Rich Crème, Godrej Selfie Shampoo Hair Colour, and Goodknight.
Nisaba Godrej, the esteemed Executive Chairperson of Godrej Consumer Products, expressed that the Rs 515 crore investment resonates harmoniously with GCPL’s long-standing strategy of active engagement with India’s trajectory of growth. The commitment is underscored by the relentless pursuit of delivering products that combine affordability, superior quality, and innovation for consumers. The ripple effect of this establishment will be the creation of over 400 employment opportunities within Tamil Nadu. A paramount focus on inclusivity and gender parity underscores the company’s vision for the workforce, with the intent to have women constitute 50% of the employees, alongside a 5% inclusion of individuals from LGBTQ and Persons with Disabilities (PWD) communities.
The strategic implications of this venture are manifold. Apart from streamlining the delivery timelines and optimizing inventory management, the new manufacturing plant will engender a substantial reduction in overall operational costs. This development is slated to bolster GCPL’s production capabilities, further enhancing the organization’s comprehensive production capacity, as outlined by the company.
Sudhir Sitapati, the MD & CEO of GCPL, underscores the multi-faceted role the plant will assume, not just as a manufacturing epicenter but also as a conduit for reinforcing the market presence of signature brands like Cinthol, Godrej Expert Rich Crème, Godrej Selfie Shampoo Hair Colour, and Goodknight. This expansion blueprint extends beyond business growth, with a robust commitment to fostering a positive societal impact and sustainable development within Tamil Nadu.
GCPL has carved its niche by offering an array of household insecticides, personal care products, and hair care brands. Its expansive market reach spans not only India but also Indonesia, Africa, and Latin America. This newly envisaged manufacturing unit is primed to harness the potential of advanced production techniques to augment GCPL’s prowess and fortify its production capabilities.
