Greenply Industries Ltd will invest around Rs 75 crore to set up plywood and allied products manufacturing unit through a wholly-owned subsidiary in Sandila Industrial Area in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh. The proposed capacity addition is 13.50 million square metres per annum while the existing capacity of the company is 24.90 million square metres per annum. Greenply has decided to set up the plant at Hardoi considering the proximity of principal raw materials such as agroforestry timber and availability of workers, along with growing demand in northern and central markets of India. The new project is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2021-22.
