JCB India on Tuesday said it will set up a Rs 500-crore manufacturing unit at Mahindra Lifespace Developers’ Mahindra World City (MWC) in Jaipur.

In a joint statement, the companies said JCB India would set up a manufacturing plant in 70 acres within Mahindra World City in Jaipur.

“The total investment for this new manufacturing facility, which will be JCB’s fourth factory in India, will be to the tune of Rs 500 crore,” the statement added.
