India Gelatine and Chemicals Limited has announced a major expansion and modernization project aimed at upgrading its existing manufacturing facility and increasing its gelatine production capacity from 2,000 MT to up to 2,700 MT. The initiative, involving a total estimated investment of ₹80 crore, will be executed in a phased manner over the next 1.5 years.
The company currently operates at over 90% capacity utilization, prompting the need for additional capacity to meet rising demand and strengthen its market position. The planned expansion will add 700 MT of new production capacity, taking the total to 2,700 MT once fully completed.
The investment will be funded through a mix of internal accruals and borrowings. India Gelatine and Chemicals noted that the project is designed to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities in the domestic and global markets, while also improving operational efficiencies and long-term profitability.
The expansion marks a strategic step in the company’s growth roadmap, ensuring enhanced supply capabilities and supporting its objective of catering to increasing customer requirements across various end-use sectors.
