Lux Industries Lays Foundation for ₹600 Crore Dankuni Manufacturing Expansion in West Bengal

Lux Industries Begins Major Expansion in Hooghly

West Bengal's manufacturing sector has received another significant boost as Lux Industries has laid the foundation stone for a major expansion of its integrated manufacturing facility at Dankuni in Hooghly district.

The ₹600 crore project, which includes approximately ₹450 crore in fresh capital expenditure, marks one of the company's largest manufacturing investments in recent years. The foundation stone was laid in the presence of senior officials from the Government of West Bengal.

Capacity and Infrastructure to See Major Growth

The expansion will add nearly 12 lakh sq ft of manufacturing and allied infrastructure to the existing campus, taking the total built-up area to approximately 20 lakh sq ft.

Upon completion, the Dankuni facility is expected to become one of Asia's largest garment manufacturing facilities, further strengthening West Bengal's position as a leading textile and apparel manufacturing hub.

The project will also substantially increase Lux Industries' annual manufacturing capacity. The facility, which currently produces around 12 crore pieces annually, will add another 18–20 crore pieces of production capacity to cater to growing domestic and international demand.

Around 9,000 Employment Opportunities

The expansion is expected to generate approximately 3,000 direct and 6,000 indirect employment opportunities, creating around 9,000 jobs across manufacturing, logistics, supply chains, and allied industries.

The project is expected to contribute significantly to industrial development in Hooghly while supporting the state's employment and manufacturing ecosystem.

Strengthening West Bengal's Manufacturing Ecosystem

The investment adds to the growing list of large-scale industrial expansions being announced across West Bengal. With established companies continuing to expand their manufacturing footprint in the state, Bengal is strengthening its position as an attractive destination for investments in textiles, engineering, electronics, and advanced manufacturing.

Lux Industries' latest expansion underscores the confidence of homegrown companies in West Bengal's industrial infrastructure and reinforces the state's role as a key manufacturing hub in eastern India.
