HFCL Approves ₹820 Crore Capacity Expansion

HFCL has approved an investment of ₹820 crore to expand its manufacturing capacity for optical fibre, optical fibre cables and optical fibre preforms. The company plans to increase its production capacity to around 43.1 million fibre kilometres for optical fibre, 62 million cable kilometres for optical fibre cables and 600 tonnes for optical fibre preforms after the expansion.
