Adani Wilmar Ltd plans to invest around Rs 600 crore this fiscal mainly to expand its processing capacities of edible oil business and will launch more food products for consumers as well as institutional buyers to achieve higher growth in volume terms, its MD & CEO Angshu Malick said today.
This is over and above the ongoing expansion programmes of around Rs 3,400 crore to add capacities across businesses.
