The unit was established at Malanpur in Madhya Pradesh. GCPL has been operational in Malanpur since 1991. Located in the Industrial Area of District Bhind, the plant spans a total of 65 acres with a cumulative investment of ₹850 crore.

Over three decades, the site has evolved into a critical pillar of GCPL's manufacturing ecosystem, producing soaps, hair colours, household insecticides and more. With this expansion, the site is adding its fourth manufacturing unit at an investment of over ₹480 crore.

Commenting on the plant's inauguration, Nisaba Godrej, Executive Chairperson, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL), said, “This expansion makes Malanpur home to Asia's largest integrated soap manufacturing facility, with our lines here capable of producing up to 4,000 soap bars every minute. It is a state-of-the-art facility that reflects 35 years of partnership between Godrej and Madhya Pradesh, dating back to when we first began manufacturing in Malanpur in 1991.”

Nisaba also added that the company expects this expansion to generate a turnover of ₹3,800 crore once fully operational.

The company said that this also marks a significant milestone in Madhya Pradesh's industrial growth story and reinforces the state's position as a preferred destination for large scale manufacturing investment.

GCPL MD and CEO Aasif Malbari said the company has invested nearly ₹480 crore in the expansion, taking its cumulative investment in Malanpur to over ₹850 crore.

He said the expansion has increased the company’s total soap manufacturing capacity to over 2 lakh metric tonnes per annum, making the Malanpur facility one of Asia’s largest integrated soap manufacturing plants. The expanded facility will produce a wide range of products.
