Expansion Plan Revision
The Board provided an update on its expansion strategy. Previously, the company proposed an investment of approximately ₹165 Crores in the nonwoven flushable products segment.

It is expected to generate an estimated annual revenue of approximately ₹175 Crores and a projected profitability of approximately ₹30 Crores.
