Designed to meet global engineering and sustainability benchmarks, the Supa plant integrates automation, digital process controls and advanced quality systems.

Speaking at the inauguration, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that Taural India’s growth reflects how Indian enterprises can build globally competitive manufacturing capabilities while supporting regional economic development.
