The company plans to spend ₹4,257 crore of the ₹13,327 crore of capital expenditure towards brownfield expansion and debottlenecking of VSF plants.
Mr. Agarwal said that, “Our manufacturing input of caustic soda, power and steam and carbon disulfide are fully captive and we have control over 60% of the pulp requirements.”
Grasim has ensured control over 80% of the costs through backward integration, giving it an important competitive advantage over nonintegrated players.
