Orientbell Tiles invests to add
Capacity of 0.7 MSM at Sikandrabad GVT plant.

OBL’s Board has approved adding capacity at an existing GVT tile plant at Sikandrabad (Bulandshahar district, UP). The current capacity of this GVT tile plant is 3.3 MSM p.a. and post the completion of the capex, the capacity will increase to 4.0 MSM p.a.
The debottlenecking project will involve a capex of under Rs. 11 Crores and the process will be completed by Q1FY23.
“This is the 3rd growth capex initiative that we have agreed for in the last 9 months”.
With this, the overall capacity of our own manufacturing facility at Sikandarbad would increase by 2.4 MSM p.a. by early FY23 vs. what we had in Q2FY21.
The debottlenecking project is not only capital efficient but also allows us to participate in the demand growth that we continue to witness in North and East India.
We continue to stay cash positive, and this project will also be funded via internal accruals. Aditya Gupta, CEO, Orientbell Tiles commented on the occasion.
