IFGL Refractories Ltd has firmed up plans to set up a continuous casting refractory manufacturing facility at the Kandla SEZ in Gujarat at an investment of Rs 50 crore. The Kandla plant will be IFGL’s second manufacturing facility in the country and have a capacity to manufacture 300,000 refractory units annually, according to Mr Pradeep Bajoria, Director and Chief Executive of IFGL Refractories Ltd.

Addressing a news conference here today, Mr Bajoria said an additional Rs 25 crore would be invested in introducing new products at the company’s manufacturing facility located in Brazil.
