Skipper Aims to Expand Capacity by 60% by FY28
Skipper is a big company in India that makes towers for electricity.
They want to make 60% more towers by 2028.
Right now, they make 375,000 tonnes of towers every year, but they want to make 450,000 tonnes by then.
They also want to sell more towers to other countries, so that half of their money comes from exports.
They have three factories in Kolkata and might build a new one in Western India.
They are spending ₹400 crore to make this happen.
Right now, they sell towers to 65 countries, and they think they can sell even more in places like the Middle East, North Africa, the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
They want to be the biggest tower maker in the world, even bigger than companies in China.
Skipper plans to increase production capacity by 60% to 450,000 tonnes per annum by FY28.
The company aims to double exports to 50% of its revenue in the next 3-4 years.
Skipper may set up a new greenfield plant in Western India to balance its capacity.
The company has a capital expenditure plan of ₹400 crore for the next two financial years.
