Global consumer healthcare giant Haleon has announced plans to invest nearly ₹2,000 crore in establishing its first manufacturing facility in India, marking a significant milestone in the company’s long-term growth strategy. The upcoming plant will be located in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh, one of the country’s rapidly developing industrial hubs.
Spread across more than 40 acres, the greenfield facility is expected to strengthen Haleon’s manufacturing capabilities while enhancing its ability to serve both domestic and international markets. The company aims to use the new unit primarily for the production of oral healthcare products, a segment that continues to witness strong demand across Asia.
The investment is projected to create around 500 direct jobs while also generating numerous indirect employment opportunities through supporting industries, suppliers, and logistics networks. In addition to employment generation, the project is expected to contribute to local skill development and strengthen the region’s industrial ecosystem.
Senior company officials highlighted India’s growing importance in Haleon’s global business strategy. With the country emerging as one of the fastest-growing consumer healthcare markets, the company sees significant opportunities to expand its reach and improve access to healthcare products for millions of consumers.
The proposed facility will incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies and automation, aligning with Haleon’s global production standards. Once operational, the plant is expected to improve supply chain efficiency, increase local value addition, and support export activities across Asian markets.
Haleon’s portfolio in India includes well-known healthcare and wellness brands across oral care, digestive health, respiratory care, pain relief, and nutritional supplements. The new manufacturing unit is expected to play a key role in supporting the growing demand for these products while reinforcing the company’s commitment to the Indian market.
With this major investment, Madhya Pradesh continues to attract global companies looking to establish large-scale manufacturing operations, further strengthening its position as an emerging industrial and investment destination.
