"With this increase in the production of flexible packaging, Pakka can increase its distribution in the market. Our increased capacity will allow us to meet the growing demand for flexible packaging solutions across various sectors,” he added.

Pakka also plans to use a part of the proceeds for research and development to manufacture more types of products in the compostable flexible packaging category.

With our compostable flexible packaging facility, we envision setting a new benchmark for sustainable packaging," said Ved Krishna, Group Lead, Pakka.

Pakka's current EBITDA stands at 23%, with expectations to rise to between 27% and 30% after the completion of the fundraising and expansion.
