This facility will initially manufacture Room Air Conditioners (RACs) and is an extension to the existing RAC facility in Pantnagar," the company said in a statement on Friday. The move is in line with the company’s commitment to Make in India, it added.
The unit will play a significant role in augmenting the company's capacity in catering to the growing consumer demand across India. It will help “expand our presence and footprint, especially in South India", said Pradeep Bakshi, managing director and CEO, Voltas Limited.
In fiscal 2022, Voltas reported operating revenues of ₹7,934 crore with profit of ₹506 crore for the period. In the last fiscal, it registered for the government’s production-linked incentive scheme for manufacturing several components including compressors for room ACs. In India, the company operates four manufacturing units.
