Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy inaugurates ₹1000-crore Century Ply MDF unit at Badvel in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district

The largest integrated wood panel production facility of Century Plyboards opened its doors on Saturday in the YSR Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh.

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, officially opened the plant in the Badvel, YSR Kadapa district.

At a cost of Rs 1,000 crore, the Century Ply MDF facility was built in Badvel, Andhra Pradesh.
According to a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office, the company has employed 2,266 people, and the factory also indirectly employs tens of thousands of farmers and other people.

Following the opening of the campus’s MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) units, he also spoke with representatives of the company, officials, and employees.

The district’s industrial growth trajectory has reached yet another turning point, as noted by the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister set the groundwork for the Century industrial unit two years ago, and it is now prepared to start producing goods for sale.

The Century Ply MDF unit was built on 100 acres that were leased to the business for 33 years.

It is anticipated that 2,266 people will be employed by the unit. In addition, the business purchases the necessary raw materials straight from the Badvel region’s farmers. Farmers are being urged to plant 80,000 acres of plywood-making trees over the next eight years to fulfill future demand.

The corporate representatives informed Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy that 1,000 farmers had already been recruited as part of the project to plant trees on 5,000 acres at a discounted cost.
