The facility’s location in Thiruporur Taluk, Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu, strategically enables access to southern markets and neighboring regions.

The move is expected to generate over 400 job opportunities, with a focus on inclusivity and gender balance in the workforce.

Nisaba Godrej, Executive Chairperson of GCPL, emphasized plans to employ 50% women, along with 5% from LGBTQ and people with disabilities communities. The investment aligns with GCPL’s commitment to India’s growth and delivering affordable, high-quality, and innovative products.

The upcoming facility will prioritize sustainability, aiming to achieve Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications. Energy-efficient technologies, waste reduction strategies, solar roof panels, zero liquid discharge (ZLD), and zero landfill practices will be implemented in the facility.
