NEW DELHI : Packaged consumer goods company Nestle India said that while the maker of Maggi noodles and Nescafe coffee has ramped up its production capacity to about 70%, the company is hoping that the government will permit food processing companies to employ more workers so firms such as Nestle can tide over any supply shortages.
On behalf of FMCG companies, industry body Confederation of Indian Industries, has made representations to the government asking for worker deployment to be drummed up to 75% in green and orange zones. “In terms of manufacturing capability we are about 70%, we have ramped up quite well, when we will reach 100% it is a bit difficult to say.
