Pakka Limited, a leading manufacturer of compostable packaging solutions, announced that it has raised funding of Rs 244.7 crore, approved by its board. The company plans to utilise these funds to establish the world's first compostable flexible packaging facility in Ayodhya, India.

In October 2023, Pakka launched its compostable flexible packaging products in partnership with Brawny Bear, a nutrition company. With this fund, the company intends to solidify its position as a leading global brand for compostable flexible packaging. As part of its expansion plans, Pakka's compostable flexible packaging facility, the Jagriti project, is expected to be operational by December 2025.

This investment is expected to double the production capacity of Pakka’s manufacturing plant in Ayodhya. Pakka's current EBITDA is 23%, which it expects to increase to 27-30% following the fund raise and completion of the expansion.”
