Dabur to Open its Maiden South Indian Manufacturing Unit in Tamil Nadu

Dabur India Limited, a leading Ayurvedic and natural FMCG company, has signed a facilitation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government to establish a new consumer goods manufacturing facility in the state. This facility will mark Dabur's first manufacturing unit in South India. According to the MoU, the project will begin with an initial investment of ₹135 crore in Phase 1, which will eventually be scaled up to ₹400 crore over the next five years.

The new manufacturing unit, which will be located in SIPCOT Tindivanam, Tamil Nadu, is expected to create direct employment opportunities for approximately 250 people, in addition to generating thousands of indirect jobs. The state-of-the-art facility will be one of Dabur’s most modern and environmentally friendly plants, designed to produce a variety of products specifically for the southern market.

Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa expressed his enthusiasm for the project on X (formerly Twitter), welcoming Dabur to the state and highlighting the potential benefits for the local economy. He noted that the facility would not only create jobs but also provide new opportunities for farmers in the nearby delta region, who will be able to supply agro produce to be processed at the plant.

Dabur India Limited’s CEO, Mohit Malhotra, emphasized that this investment would help the company better meet the growing demand for its products in South India, thereby strengthening its market presence in the region. He also expressed Dabur's commitment to contributing to Tamil Nadu’s economic development through job creation and collaboration with local vendors and suppliers.

Rahul Awasthi, Dabur India Limited's global head of operations, added that the new facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest standards of quality and operational efficiency. He also highlighted the enhanced opportunities for sourcing agricultural produce from local farmers in Tamil Nadu.
