Its products are used in pharmaceutical formulation industry and manufacturing of therapeutic medicines like anti-depressant and anti-psychotic drugs, among others.
The expansion will be taking place in the existing land area, with an estimated project cost of $75 Million, including existing investment of around $49 Million, according to the approval by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The facility has been manufacturing three products and the proposal is to build capacities for another 66 products from which a select number of products will be manufactured in the facility, apart from a research and development facility.
