On the operational front, the company announced successful commissioning of its greenfield facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). “In response to strong demand and our limited presence in the region, we have swiftly ramped up the facility to 100 per cent utilization on three shift basis. This performance has encouraged us to move forward with expansion plans including backward integration and a second facility, expected to commence operations in the next calendar year,” said Ravi Jaipuria.
