JK Organisation, a leading industrial group, said its investment plans worth some Rs.20,000 crore were on track and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign would be at the core of its present and future focus.
"The group's turnover is over Rs.22,000 crore including exports of over Rs.1,300 crore and is set to double in the next 4-5 years," said Bharat Hari Singhania, director, JK Organisation.
"Our investment plans of about Rs.20,000 crore are on track, which will help us take forward our market leadership and growth aspiration," he added.
He was speaking at the organisation's founder's day, the 130th birth anniversary of Lala Kamlapat Singhania.
"We have aligned ourselves to the growth of the Indian industry by strengthening our production capabilities, investing in R&D (research and development) and partnerships with all our stakeholders," Singhania said.
He said, at present large opportunities are being offered by the growing rural market. "We have to continue to expand, modernise and innovate. We have taken many initiatives to take advantage of this. Our state-of-the-art capacity expansion in paper at Odisha will help us to offer best quality paper at affordable prices."
