This will be Dabur’s first such unit in South India, and will be set up in SIPCOT Tindivanam, Tamil Nadu. It will provide direct employment for approximately 250 people.

Chennai, August 22, 2024: Dabur India Limited, India’s largest Ayurvedic and Natural FMCG firm, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government to establish a new manufacturing facility in the state. This will be Dabur’s first such unit in South India. The MoU includes an approved Phase-1 investment of Rs 135 crores, which would be scaled up to Rs 400 crores over a five-year period. This is planned to provide direct employment for approximately 250 people while also producing thousands of indirect job possibilities.

The MoU, signed between Guidance Tamil Nadu represented by its Managing Director Vishnu IAS, and Dabur India Limited’s Chief Executive Officer Mohit Malhotra, was exchanged in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M.K. Stalin, Hon’ble Industries Minister Dr TRB Rajaa, Chief Secretary Mr N Muruganandam IAS, Secretary Dept of Industries Arun Roy IAS, MD SIPCOT Dr Senthil Raj IAS on 22nd August, 2024 at the Secretariat in Chennai.

Dabur’s latest state-of-the-art multi-category manufacturing facility will be set up in SIPCOT Tindivanam, Tamil Nadu. This will be amongst Dabur’s most-modern and environment-friendly manufacturing facilities with the capacity to manufacture a range of Dabur’s products for the South market.

“We are grateful to the Government of Tamil Nadu, particularly the Department of Industries led by Hon’ble Minister Dr TRB Rajaa for his personal and proactive support and guidance, teams in Guidance Tamil Nadu, and SIPCOT, for their wholehearted support in facilitating this project. This investment will allow us to better serve the growing demand for our products in South India and strengthen our market presence in the region. We look forward to contributing to Tamil Nadu’s economic development by creating jobs and working closely with local vendors and supplier partners,” Dabur India Limited Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mohit Malhotra said.

The strategic location of the new unit, he added, will enhance Dabur’s ability to meet business and logistical requirements more efficiently, thereby offering significant advantage and growth opportunities.

“We’ve chosen to set up a manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu as part of our strategy to be closer to our consumers, while staying true to what matters most to us — providing high quality natural and healthy products to our customers. Our new facility at SIPCOT will be equipped with the latest technology, allowing us to maintain the highest standards of quality and operational efficiency in everything we produce. This will also enhance our sourcing of agricultural produce from local farmers in Tamil Nadu,” Dabur India Limited Global Head of Operations Rahul Awasthi said.

The new facility will be designed with a focus on energy conservation in both its construction and operations. Emphasizing environmental responsibility, Dabur plans to construct an energy-efficient building while deploying the latest technology for effluent treatment.
