The Hon'ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, marked a momentous occasion by gracing the foundation laying ceremony of two cutting-edge facilities by ITC at Sehore, Madhya Pradesh. The ceremony took place in the esteemed presence of Sanjiv Puri, chairman of ITC.

These two projects, sprawling across approximately 57 acres, are poised to significantly expand ITC's footprint in Madhya Pradesh, encompassing various sectors of the state's economy, including agriculture, manufacturing, and services. The initiatives are expected to bolster livelihoods through sustainable value chains.

The first facility, a state-of-the-art Foods plant, will produce ITC's globally acclaimed Indian brands, including Aashirvaad, Sunfeast biscuits, and the beloved 'YiPPee!' noodles. It is set to contribute substantially to enhancing food processing capabilities within the state.

The second facility, specializing in Moulded Fibre products, will take a pioneering role in sustainable packaging. This initiative aligns with ITC's commitment to environmentally responsible practices and sustainable solutions.

Speaking at the event, Sanjiv Puri, chairman of ITC, stated, "In line with our commitment to contribute to the socio-economic development of the state, we are now investing in two world-class facilities, including the Integrated Food Manufacturing and Logistics Facility and the Sustainable Packaging Products Manufacturing Facility at Sehore.
