Stone Sapphire India to invest Rs 1,000 cr in homewares plant in Baroda

Toys and stationery manufacturer Stone Sapphire India will invest Rs 1,000 crore to set up a manufacturing facility for homewares like glassware, sippers, dinnerware etc, in Baroda.. Talking with PTI, Stone Sapphire India Pvt. Ltd. (SSPL) Chairman Vick Rana said that homeware products available in India are either for the lower class or very high-end for the elite and leave a huge vacuum for middle-class consumers. "Our work on new plant and capacity expansion has already begun in Baroda which is focused on the homeware segment. We are investing Rs.1000 crore on this expansion," Rana said. The Baroda plant will manufacture small kitchen appliances, metal cookware, and drinkware. This will help increase not just the production capacity for the Indian market but also increase exports by at least 50 per cent, thereby making products in India for the world, he stated.. Rana further said this expansion will help the company increase its turnover to Rs 1,000 crore by 2025-26 from Rs 250
