In response to requests from pharmaceutical packaging companies who are facing an acute shortage of specialised packaging material for COVID-19 treatment drugs, Hindalco’s aluminium foil plant in Mouda has resumed operations.
The plant is the largest producer of pharmaceutical foil in India, supplying 30% of the market. In the current pandemic, foil made in Mouda, is being used for packing Chloroquine Phosphate tablets and Hydroxychloroquine sulphate tables and other critical drugs. Mouda is a key partner in pharma value chain, which has been exempted from the nation-wide lockdown. Pharmaceutical companies like Cadilla, Cipla, Sun Pharma, Ipca and Lupin have placed orders.
