Blue Star is in the process of setting up two major facilities to redesign and augment its manufacturing footprint. These will be located at Samba in Jammu and Sri City in Andhra Pradesh. Further, the company is planning to invest Rs 125 crore over the next three-four years towards this exercise, which will increase its overall production capacity to a million units towards the final phase.
The company had embarked on a manufacturing footprint programme with the help of KPMG. Consequent to that exercise, the company has closed down its Thane and Bharuch plants. Thus, the company has five plants at Wada, Dadra, Ahmedabad in Gujarat, and Himachal Pradesh. Whilst, the plant at Sri City is proposed to be built on 20 acres, while the Samba factory is to be constructed on over 24 acres. These factories will primarily manufacture room ACs, deep freezers and water coolers.
Blue Star is India’s leading central air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration company fulfilling the cooling requirements and providing end-to-end solutions as a manufacturer, contractor and after-sales service provider to corporate, commercial, institutional and residential customers.
