The highly automated facility will have an initial production capacity of one million flatbreads per day, with infrastructure designed to scale up to 20 million pieces per day in future phases. The project is expected to generate employment for more than 500 skilled and semi-skilled workers, supported by over 50 professionals across engineering, operations, quality, administration, and management.
Beyond manufacturing, the project has been envisioned as a complete food ecosystem integrating local agricultural sourcing, supplier development, advanced food processing, logistics, and exports. As part of its backward integration strategy, the campus will also include a modern flour milling facility, creating a seamless farm-to-food value chain while supporting sustainable industrial growth.
Approximately 60% of production will serve the growing Indian market, while 40% will be exported to Asia, the Far East, Africa, and other international markets.
