Hindustan Foods rose 2.80% to Rs 1065.25 after the company said that it will undertake a capital expenditure of Rs 125 crore in the Northern region of India, via its wholly owned subsidiary HFL Consumer Products.

In August 2020, the company's board had approved an investment of up to Rs 100 crore in HFL Consumer Products, for incurring capital expenditure to commence their business.

The company's subsidiary will be setting up a food & beverages manufacturing facility for a leading FMCG brand. The work for the said facility will commence from Q4FY21 and commercial production is expected to begin from Q4FY22. The new facility is part of company's consolidated plans to expand its footprint in contract manufacturing space for the FMCG products. The capex by the subsidiary is likely to be funded through combination of internal accruals and debt.

Commenting on the Capex plans, Sameer R. Kothari, managing director said, "The demand for contract manufacturing in FMCG industry is growing rapidly. We are in continuous discussions for new projects with our customers which include some of the leading brands in this space.

The recent capex announcements highlight the strength of our customer relationships and the ongoing trends in the industry. Execution skill is the key to success in contract manufacturing space and these new projects are an accreditation of our skills and the trust of the customer. We are committed to our goal of achieving, Rs.2,000 crores of revenue by FY2022 and believe all the capex projects will play a key role in helping us reach this milestone.

We continue to be a preferred partner and one stop solution provider for our customers. With strong manufacturing capabilities, management expertise and strong customer relationships, Hindustan Foods is well positioned for multi‐fold growth in coming years."
