Our company continued to grow from<br />
strength to strength and prospered under<br />
the leadership of Onkar Kanwar and Neeraj<br />
Kanwar. New technology products like PCR,<br />
TBR, OTR and Agricultural products were<br />
introduced successfully, which helped to<br />
expand the company from 56 MT to reach a<br />
capacity of 1600 MT day in the year 2014.<br />
