The company is growing at 15 percent CAGR and aims to achieve Rs 1,500 crore turnover in another three years, he added.

The company is presently manufacturing its range of water purifiers at its plant at Roorkee at Uttaranchal, and its new plant at Noida will be formally inaugurated on September 24.

"It (second) is five lakh unit capacity plant and we invested Rs 150 crore through internal resources," Gupta said adding in the next 4-5 years the company will set up one more plant also in Noida for which land has been already purchased.

"We have already signed an MoU with the Uttar Pradesh government to invest Rs 200 crore and under that programme this (third) plant will come up," Gupta said.

Responding to a query, Gupta said "we have no PE investments and I have no intent to take PE investments. We are a debt-free company."

The company has 19 models of water purifiers and has a 40 percent market share in RO purifier segment, Gupta added.
