Britannia Industries Ltd. proposes to set up biscuit manufacturing units in Orissa & Bihar. The company has applied to the Orissa government for 10-12 acres of land near the twin city of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar and expects a final approval in a few weeks. The proposed unit, to be built at cost of Rs 45 crore, will have an installed capacity to produce about 2,500 tonnes of biscuit per month. The proposed unit will produce different varieties of biscuits mainly for the Orissa market. This will be the second unit of the company in Orissa. It currently has a 1,000 tonnes per month capacity biscuit unit at Mayurbhanj.
The company proposes to set up a similar size unit in Bihar. Both the new units are expected to strengthen the company’s presence in eastern India while contributing to the overall business expansion pan India. The company, at present, has manufacturing facilities in Uttaranchal, Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata.
