Customised designs and interchangeable manufacturing infrastructure allow support of a broad range of customer specifications and product applications. Manika supplies battery casings, pails and thinwall containers to the rigid plastic packaging industry in India. The market is expected to grow from ₹1,06,665 crore in FY25 to ₹1,38,522 crore in FY29, at a CAGR of 6.75%. Expansion is supported by demand from paints, energy and food, population growth and rising disposable incomes. The battery-casing segment is expected to grow from ₹3,900 crore to ₹6,100 crore during the same period at a CAGR of about 12%. The company’s strategic benefit is its proximity to the key customer locations, enabling the company to serve better and respond to customer requirements more flexibly. Established supply relationships help retain customers and boost service delivery. To meet this demand, the company plans to expand capacity from 29,200 to 38,000 MTPA to serve existing and new customers. The company is also planning to expand its product portfolio through the introduction of Injection Stretch Blow Moulding (ISBM) technology. The new technology will enable it to produce bottles and containers for additional industries including personal care, cosmetics, beverages and pharmaceuticals. In addition, Manika plans to expand its geographical presence by setting up a new manufacturing facility in southern India, which will help the company strengthen its presence in the region and add new customers.
