Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Amrrut S.

Going forward, we aim to be the leading Glass player in the value-added glass segment in the country. Over the last one decade, our Company has successfully executed numerous projects within India & abroad and is known for its rich experience in providing glass solutions. Our brief experience in float Glass manufacturing has also helped us understand the needs of the customers well and this will go a long way in our building business relations.”

The value-added glass business today is roughly about Rs. 2000 Crores & is increasing at the rate of 30 % per annum. With this expansion plan underway we will have a 15% market share of the value added glass business in a span of next three to five years.” stated Mr. Dhirraj S. Gada. Jt.
