EPACK Prefab opens Sandwich Panel manufacturing plant in Tirupati district
The new plant, built on a 2,83,660 sft land parcel with a built-up area of 1,49,151 sft, is designed to meet the demand for energy-efficient, high-performance sandwich panels which are used in sectors such as cold storage, food processing, clean rooms, and industrial infrastructure.
The facility enhances EPACK's production capacity by adding 8 lakh sqm per annum, taking the company's total sandwich panel capacity to 13.10 lakh sqm per annum.
The Mambattu plant features a fully automated, continuous production line and the technology ensures high precision, minimal manual intervention, enhanced product quality, and reduced material waste, said Sanjay Singhania, Managing Director & CEO of EPACK Prefab.
'We are proud to align with key national missions such as Make in India, Aatmanirbhar Bharat and PM Gati Shakti,' he said.
The company is targeting a 30% to 35% market share in the prefabricated sandwich panel segment by the end of this fiscal year, propelled by its growing capacity and deeper regional penetration, Mr. Singhania said, adding that the plant, armed with an investment of ₹56 crore (excluding land cost), enhanced EPACK's ability to meet customer requirements with speed, scale, and efficiency.
The facility is aligned with EPACK's goals of sustainable manufacturing. It operates under approvals from the Tamil Nadu State Pollution Control Board in compliance with the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, and the Environment (Protection) Act.
Additionally, its automated systems support energy-efficient operations, reducing per-unit consumption and ensuring consistent, long-lasting panel output.
Nikhel Bothra, Executive Director, EPACK Prefab called the Mambattu Sandwich Panel plant a strategic step forward in the company's vision to build a robust, technology-driven manufacturing ecosystem across India.

Chinese JVs signal shift in India's electronics manufacturing
CHENNAI: Indian-majority joint ventures with conditional Chinese investment are emerging as a new model for electronics manufacturing — combining global expertise with local control. This evolving structure, as seen in the Dixon–Longcheer and Epack–Hisense partnerships, illustrates the potential for scaling India's electronics footprint under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) and component manufacturing schemes. With this, the country's electronics sector is undergoing a shift from simple assembly to deeper component and design integration. Driven by PLI incentives and facilitated by new JV models, these structured partnerships — with Indian majority ownership, strategic Chinese participation, and compliance with FDI norms — are considered a practical middle path. A key advantage of this model lies in its balance. As long as the rules remain clear, partnerships equitable, and technology localised within India's value chain, such collaborations can support both domestic manufacturing and export-oriented production under the 'Make in India' initiative. Dixon and Epack Models Dixtel Infocomm, a joint venture between Dixon Technologies (74%) and China-based Longcheer (26%), received government approval from MeitY on July 25. The venture will manufacture smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, AI PCs, automotive, and healthcare electronics. The equity split and focus on technology transfer and localization of non-semiconductor subcomponents align with India's regulatory framework, marking a potential shift in policy. In parallel, Dixon is forging multiple component-level partnerships with Chinese firms — including Chongqing Yuhai Precision (precision mechanicals), Kunshan Q Tech (camera/fingerprint modules), HKC (display modules), and is in talks with Vivo for handset manufacturing. These moves support deeper backward integration under the electronics component scheme. Separately, Chinese appliance major Hisense has contracted Epack Durable Ltd to manufacture air-conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and small appliances at a new facility in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh. Production is set to begin by June 2025, targeting 1 million room AC units by FY28, with a strong export orientation. Hisense plans to acquire up to a 26% stake in the Epack subsidiary operating the plant, bringing in design, tooling, and technical know-how. The collaboration is expected to generate up to US$1 billion in revenue over five years, with investments of ₹800–1,000 crore. Epack, India's second-largest AC contract manufacturer, also serves brands such as Daikin, Panasonic, Haier, and Blue Star, with facilities across Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.

A, B-Khata regulations get stamp under Great Bengaluru Governance Act
BENGALURU: The State government on Friday issued an order, approving regulations for issuing A- and B-Khata for properties under Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Once BBMP ceases to exist and Great Bengaluru Governance (GBG) Act comes into effect, properties constructed after September 30, 2024, will not be given B-Khata. The move aims to bring nearly 6 lakh properties under the Greater Bengaluru Authority/BBMP tax ambit. The order empowers the administration to even declare a private road connecting vacant land as 'public land', under Section 212 of the GBG Act. The order also makes it clear that any property on land under Revenue Survey Number/Hissa Survey and yet to be converted for non-agricultural purpose, may not require the Deputy Commissioner's approval, provided the land falls under the Revised Master Plan for Bengaluru. The fee for conversion is to be paid to the authority. After conversion, vacant land under Karnataka Country and Town Planning Act (KCTP), 1961, can be treated as a single plot/layout and the sites given A-Khata as per GBG Act. After relevant approval under Section 17 and 15 of the KCTP Act, owners can seek building plan approvals, commencement certificates and occupancy certificates. The order states that properties which already have B-Khata will have to follow the same rules. However, if there is any violation, they cannot go ahead with construction.
