30 Oct 2015 Evaluate

Natural Capsules has received an approval for enhancement of manufacturing capacity of Gelatin Capsules at its Pondicherry unit from present capacity of 6.1 billion to 8.36 billion capsules per annum by modification of existing manufacturing lines at an approximate cost of Rs 10 crore. The project will be implemented over the next 30 months and will be funded through internal accruals. The board of directors at their meeting held on October 29, 2015 has approved for the same.

The board has also approved the up gradation of manufacturing facility at Bangalore and conversion of existing three gelatin capsules lines there to HPMC (Vegetarian) capsules lines, with a capacity of 1.2 billion capsules at an approximate cost of Rs 15 crore. This is proposed to be funded through a combination of internal accruals & debt and will be implemented over a period of next 30 months.

Further, the company is presently operating at a capacity utilization of around 95% and hence the proposed capacity expansion is to cater to market requirements.

Natural Capsules is a well-equipped modern manufacturing plant to manufacture hard gelatin capsule shells, Hard cellulose capsule shells and pharmaceutical dosage forms in capsule dosage form.
