Traditionally, Vikhroli, a suburb to the Northeast of Mumbai has been Godrej's manufacturing base, but increasingly the groups have moved significant production facilities away from Mumbai. The Godrej group also owns vast land in Vikhroli, occupying 3500 acres (14 sq km) of land on both sides of the Vikhroli section of the LBS marg.

GROWTH STRATEGY OF GODREJ COMPANY Godrej Consumer Products is implementing a two- pronged strategy for growth, going forward. On the one hand, it is planning to expand its product portfolio and augment its market share in the domestic market. On the other hand, it has set sail for overseas markets. With the acquisition of Keyline brands in the UK in October 2005, it has made a strong entry into the UK market and is trying for a couple of more acquisitions. On the domestic turf, it is leveraging its leadership position in hair colourants and is diversifying its soap brands. Easing of competition pressure to some extent and a resurgence in FMCG sales will only aid the company post better numbers. Godrej brands posted a 20 per cent growth in FY06. Analysts peg the sales growth in FY07 and FY08 at over 40 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively. With control over raw material costs through in-house production of fatty acids (highest in India), Godrej is expected to register better bottom line growth in the coming years. OBJECTIVES, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CORPORATE DETAILS OBJECTIVES: Godrej Consumers Products is committed to protect its stakeholders' interest by offering the best services to its consumers. The company aims to serve its clientele with pioneering and cost-effective solutions to cater to their daily needs and uplift the quality of living as well. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Godrej has a philanthropic arm that has built schools, dispensaries and a residential complex for their employees. Trusts established by Godrej continue to invest in education, healthcare and upliftment of the underprivileged. CORPORATE DETAILS: Adi Godrej is the current Chairman of the Godrej Group.

OUTWARD BOUND OF GODREJ COMPANY Godrej is going in for international acquisitions with twin strategies - diversifying risk and tapping new markets. It expects good synergies from the Keyline acquisition and a double-digit growth in these brands. It plans to introduce one brand in India in FY07. Moreover, Keyline outsources half its production, a major chunk of which could come to Godrej. "They would use the existing distribution channel of Keyline brands to market Godrej products, with an eye on the Indian diaspora in Europe and the Caribbean," says Hoshedar Press, executive director and president.

The Keyline brands garnered revenue of £5.2 million (about Rs 44.08 crore) during November 2005-March 2006, while PBT was £0.6 million (about Rs 5.09 crore).
