<div>HSIL (formerly Hindustan Sanitaryware and Industries), the flagship company of the Somany Group, aims to commission two new plants in Telangana, a top executive said on Monday.<br /><br />Talking to Deccan Herald, HSIL JMD Sandip Somany said, “Currently, we have three units in Telangana. We are commissioning two more new plants. <br /><br />At present, we have one plant in Rangareddy district, and two in Nalgonda district. The new units will come up in Medak district. They will be commissioned in the last quarter of FY 2017 (by March 2017).”Somany explains, “We are going to produce CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) pipes in technology partnership with Japanese multinational Sekisui in one plant, and in the other we are going to produce security caps and closures products designed to prevent counterfeiting in various beverage and food industries.”<br /><br />HSIL, which was established in 1962 as a joint venture with Twyford, UK, employs over 3,500. With two new plants in the pipeline, the company aims to hire 800-900 employees and invest over Rs 240 crore. For the company, Southern India is the biggest market followed by North, West, and East.<br /><br />Somany said, “The general level of development in Southern India, particularly in reference to sanitation, has always been better than the North. People do like to spend on their homes and even the homes of the relatively poor people’s homes are ‘Pukka’.”<br /><br />Somany was in the City to launch the ‘Hindware Lacasa’ display centre at Richmond Town. Hindware Lacasa is a concept store, a one-stop shop for architects, interior designers, business buyers, as well as homeowners can experience the entire product basket from the brand. <br /><br />‘Hindware Lacasa’ exhibits all product categories on offer across sanitaryware, faucets, tiles, kitchen appliances, vents, and wellness range comprising of massage tubs, shower panels, and other allied products — all under one roof.<br /><br />The company’s current capacity of sanitaryware is 38 lakh pieces a year with 85-88 per cent capacity utilisation. In the taps and showers business, the capacity is 25 lakh pieces a year and by March 2016, the running capacity will be about 75–80 per cent.<br /><br />Exports contribute only about Rs 70 cr–Rs 80 cr for the company. “We do exports from India, but we are not export focused. We export to Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Middle East among others,” Somany said.<br /><br />The company has over 15,000 retailers in India. In Karnataka, there are 85 authorised dealers.<br /><br /><br /></div>
