Hyderabad-based CCL Products (India) Limited, one of the largest instant coffee product makers present in the export markets, is planning to set up a green-field freeze dried instant coffee manufacturing plant at an investment of $40 million in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh.
Proposed to be completed in December, 2017, the new plant will bring in an additional capacity of 5,000 tonnes per year, taking the total installed capacity of the company to 40,000 tonnes. The company had completed the brown-field addition of a similar capacity in December last year.
The company’s main focus is Europe and Japan where high-end products like freeze dried coffee and freeze concentrated liquid coffee have a huge market potential.
