Also, under the Scheme, the name of the company has been changed to Amrit Banaspati Company from Amrit Enterprises, while the name of transferor company was changed to Amrit Corp. from Amrit Banaspati Company.
The Scheme has led to economies of scale in the form of enhanced scale of operations and increased asset base leading to optimum utilization of resources and capacities.
ABCL has carried out various modernization/ upgradation schemes in the past to increase the capacity of its plants and improve operational efficiency etc., for which financial Institutions have sanctioned financial assistance from time to time. Today we are operating at an installed capacity of 450 MT/DAY which shows tremendous growth. This stupendous growth has been possible because ABCL has continuously endeavored to bring new products to the Indian consumer and to that end its R & D has played a key role.
