Recent major changes include a significant expansion in 2023 through the acquisition of plant & machinery and land & building valued at approximately Rs. 17.18 Crores via auction, enabling the company to diversify its product line by introducing new products such as dextrose monohydrate, dextrose anhydrous, and liquid glucose.
