The funding for the new plant will be done through internal accruals and partly term loans, he said. Last week, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy laid the foundation for the new plant which will generate hundreds of direct jobs.
"With innovation at its very core, CCL achieved remarkable success and became the preferred supplier for major clients worldwide. With the advantage of large-scale production and an extensive marketing network, CCL has become a powerful player in the global coffee industry with a B2B customer base across more than 100 countries," he said.
As part of its expansion spree, CCL acquired 6 coffee brands from Sweden-based coffee roasters Löfbergs Group in June this year. Going forward, he said that CCL aims to becoming an FMCG company with a basket of brands.
