Wagh Bakri Tea Group's Massive Expansion: New Plant Unveiled

The Wagh Bakri Tea Group is investing over Rs 100 crore in a new plant in Gujarat to boost raw material storage and instant tea production. The facility will feature an Automatic Stock Retrieval System and aims to increase daily instant tea output from 4,000 to 20,000 packets.

Ahmedabad-headquartered Wagh Bakri Tea Group is set to establish a new manufacturing plant in Gujarat with an investment surpassing Rs 100 crore. This development aims to amplify both the storage capacity of raw materials and the production of instant tea, according to CEO Sanjay Singal.

Sanjay Singal, who took over as CEO in August of the previous year, emphasized that the upcoming unit will enhance both instant tea production and raw material storage. The new warehouse will feature an Automatic Stock Retrieval System (ASRS) to streamline operations.

The plant, situated in Dakor, Gujarat, is projected to become operational by the third quarter of 2025.
