According to a PTI report: The FMCG major is also mulling domestic expansion in the eastern part of the country, Chairman Nusli N Wadia said.

Britannia Industries exports products to 70 countries, PTI reported.
He was quoted by PTI as saying that West Bengal also features as one of the locations for its new facility in the east, but firming up plans in the state depends on “the facilities Bengal gives us”.
