The size of the Kerala market is about 100,000 tonnes per annum and it is growing at a rate of 15% per annum, Sridhar adds.
Essar will manufacture the products at its Pune facility, where it has a state-of-the-art, colour-coating unit with an annual output of 400,000 million tonnes, the company statement adds.
The company currently exports these products to Europe, Russia and African countries.
