We have strategic plans to invest INR 2,000 crores in specialty carbon and downstream derivative projects over a period of seven years, extending till 2030, to establish our presence in Odisha. The first phase of this expansion strategy involves an investment of INR 740 crores to set up a greenfield project with a processing capacity of 300,000 MTPA of raw coal tar.
