Britannia Industries Ltd is appraising opportunities to set up manufacturing units in Bangladesh and other South East Asian nations.

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. We have already set up a plant in Nepal, and are seriously looking at Bangladesh and other South East Asian countries. We are evaluating opportunities in Africa and plan to step up our endeavour on the international side," Nadia said at the 100th AGM of the company.

He said 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".
