A glimpse of Groundbreaking Ceremony of Epack Durable for additional plant
Hyderabad: The groundbreaking ceremony of Epack Durable Limited (EDL) was held at Sri City recently marking the commencement of construction of an additional state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This adds to a significant expansion of its strategic partnership with Hisense, a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances, and air conditioning. The ceremony was attended by Epack’s Managing Director and CEO Ajay Singhania, Director LB Bothra, Hisense India’s CEO Pankaj Rana, and Managing Director Steven Li, who laid the foundation stone following a traditional pooja ceremony.
Epack has allocated Rs191 crore for the new plant, which will span 9 acres and is expected to commence production by June 2025. This investment complements the Rs229 crore already infused into its existing facility, which also spans 9 acres. The current plant produces 1.3 million air conditioners, 0.4 million washing machines, and 0.7 million small home appliances annually. Once operational, the new facility will increase air conditioner production capacity to over 2 million units, while maintaining existing capacities for other appliances.
Ajay Singhania said, “This milestone reinforces Epack’s commitment to promoting domestic manufacturing in line with the 'Make in India' initiative. Our new facility will enable us to produce world-class Hisense products with a focus on innovation, quality, and sustainability.”
Pankaj Rana said, “Our partnership with Epack Durable is a testament to Hisense’s vision of delivering top-notch, innovative, and intelligently designed products to customers. This collaboration not only enhances our presence in India but also solidifies our leadership in global markets.”
Sri City Founder and Managing Director Dr Ravindra Sannareddy congratulated both teams, remarking, “This partnership exemplifies the spirit of innovation and excellence that defines Sri City. It further strengthens the 'Make in India' mission, contributing to economic growth and uplifting local communities while setting new benchmarks for sustainable manufacturing.”
The expansion will create significant employment opportunities, with the workforce expected to grow from 700 to 1,200. Designed with eco-friendly manufacturing practices, the facility underscores Epack’s and Hisense’s shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and globally competitive manufacturing.
