Recyclers Ghana has also started manufacturing of customized products wherein company enjoys the better margins. The group is expecting a revenue contribution of approx. Rs. 200 crore along with Gross Margin of around 15% from this step down subsidiary in F.Y. 2021-22.

Further, due to increase in domestic procurement the company has accelerated the process of establishment of new unit at Mundra, Gujarat which expected to complete by August 2021. Establishment of Mundra plant will help the company in saving the inward and outward logistics cost as Mundra facility is much closer to the port which in turn will reduce the working capital requirement of the company. Furthermore, the above expansions will increase the share of business from overseas market which will result in higher margins.
