The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday said home and personal care products maker Dabur India will set up a Rs 400 crore manufacturing plant in the state’s Villupuram district, marking the FMCG company’s maiden foray into the South.
State Industries Minister TRB Rajaa said a pact was inked on Thursday for this purpose.
He said the company will invest Rs 400 crore in this facility which will create over 250 jobs. “More importantly, it will open up new opportunities for farmers in the nearby #Delta region to sell #AgroProduce to be processed in this facility,” he added.
Dabur’s decision to choose Tamil Nadu is a testament to the state’s thriving industrial ecosystem and availability of a work-ready labour force, Rajaa added.
