The company has set up the first of its kind riverine floating unit at Budge Budge and has an export unit at Haldia. The company currently exports over 60,00MT of Fly Ash per month from both the facilities.
The Rs 100-crore Floating Haat Bazar - a one-of-its-kind project in India based on the mobile floating supermarket concept - is expected to be completed by next year.
Two mobile Floating Haat Bazars i.e.,mobile floating super markets, complete with shops, markets, cineplex and other modern amenities for entertainment and shopping, will move along the Hooghly and connect many cities and towns and reach out to the masses with multi-brand products and services, according to the company.
