KRBL is advancing its non-basmati rice expansion at Gangavathi, marking a strategic development for the company in the non-basmati segment.

Gangavathi non-basmati expansion

The move into Gangavathi represents a notable step for KRBL as it extends its presence beyond its established basmati rice business into the non-basmati segment. Gangavathi, located in Karnataka, is a significant rice-producing region, making it a relevant location for such an expansion initiative.

Strategic context

KRBL's decision to move forward with the Gangavathi facility reflects the company's intent to diversify its rice portfolio. The non-basmati segment represents a distinct market from the premium basmati category with which KRBL has historically been associated.
