The company intends to use more than 60% of the project’s production to cater to the food packaging and beverage industries.

The investment for setting up the plant will be partially funded by International Finance Corporation (IFC), a unit of World Bank.

While IFC will provide up to $40m of the total investment, the rest of the amount will come from SRF itself, reported the publication.
