The Indian Immunologicals Limited (IIL) is a leading biologicals company in the country. It has set up a new facility with an investment of Rs. 250 crore near Hyderabad and is set to become India’s largest producer of animal health formulations.
Spread over 47 acres at Karkapatla is IIL’s second manufacturing unit in Hyderabad and will significantly expand the company’s manufacturing capabilities. The IIL has developed this facility considering the growing demand for the next 10 years for human vaccines and animal health formulations.
The first phase of human vaccine facility at IIL has the capacity to produce eight million doses of human rabies vaccine, while the animal health formulation facility is equipped to produce an estimated capacity of 300 million tablets, 100 million bolus, and 20 million vials of injectables.
Deputy managing director K. Anand Kumar said, “The facility will strengthen IIL’s position in the industry and will immensely increase our manufacturing capabilities. We are expecting this plant to play a key role in manufacturing top quality vaccines with the most recent German technology.”
