On 14 December 2017, Chief Minister of Punjab Amarinder Singh inaugurated ITC’s new integrated food manufacturing and logistics facility at Kapurthala, Punjab.
Besides other FMCG units, the facility will also have a wheat mandi unit to procure grains from farmers.
The facility worth Rs 1,500 crore is spread over 72 acre. It will manufacture ITC’s food brands such as Aashirvaad, Bingo, and Sunfeast among others. It is part of the company’s plans to open 20 such food processing units across India with an investment of Rs 10,000 crore.
This is the third of the five plants ITC is setting up in the complex, with the remaining two expected to become operational by March 2018.
Once completed, the entire facility will spread over 1.5 million sq ft, making it the largest in the country.
