Dabur India, the world’s largest Ayurvedic company and one of India’s most trusted FMCG brands, held the groundbreaking ceremony of its new, world-class FMCG manufacturing facility at Tindivanam in Tamil Nadu. The Tindivanam plant will be Dabur’s first manufacturing plant in South India, located at Tindivanam, Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu Chief minister M K Stalin virtually performed the groundbreaking ceremony of the new unit at a function attended by Minister for Industries Dr. T. R. B. Raja, Principal Secretary-Industries Mr. Arun Roy, and the entire team at Guidance Tamil Nadu and SIPCOT.

Dabur has committed an investment of Rs. 400 Crore in Tamil Nadu, with nearly one-third of the investment already under execution. Speaking on the occasion, Dabur India Limited Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mohit Malhotra said: “We are proud to begin building Dabur’s first manufacturing facility in South India, one that will strengthen supply resilience and put ‘Made in Tamil Nadu’ at the heart of our growth in the region. This ground-breaking is a defining step in building Dabur’s next chapter, with manufacturing that is faster, smarter, greener, and closer to the consumer. Tamil Nadu gives us the platform to scale with agility and serve South India with greater speed and freshness.”

In the initial phase, the Tindivanam plant will manufacture Dabur's range of toothpastes like Dabur Red Toothpaste and Meswak, in addition to Personal Care brands like Dabur Gulabari, Vatika Hair Oil, and Anmol Hair Oil. Over time, production will be expanded to include Real Juices, Amla Hair Oil, and additional brands, positioning Tindivanam as a key pillar of Dabur’s southern manufacturing network.

This advanced, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility has the potential to generate direct employment for around 250 people, besides creating thousands of indirect job opportunities, and contribute towards building future-ready skills amongst the local communities in and around the plant. In addition, the plant will be guided by principles of sustainability and use 100% renewable energy for running operations.

“Designed as a benchmark manufacturing facility, the Tindivanam plant reflects Dabur’s vision for future-ready, responsible manufacturing. The facility will feature state-of-the-art technology, operate entirely on renewable energy, and foster a truly inclusive workplace with a predominantly women workforce. This unit will be a cornerstone of Dabur’s southern manufacturing network, supporting scale, efficiency, and sustainability,” Dabur India Limited Global Operations Head Mr. Saurabh Lal said.
