According to the company, there will be an investment of about Rs 400 crore in the second phase expansion unit and 1000 youth will get employment opportunities, he said. This plant will be ready in about a year. Injection molding and sheet metal will be manufactured in this plant which will be used only in the currently functioning units, Kumar said.

According to local officials, this is the fourth plant of Haier Appliances here. Before this, the plants for making AC, refrigerator and washing machine have been started. Haier was allotted a plot of 122 acres in the year 2018. The company has already invested about Rs 1,600 crore in the first phase and provided employment opportunities to about 2,500 people, an official said.
