Haleon, maker of Sensodyne, plans to invest ₹2,000 crore (approximately $175 million) to build its first owned oral care manufacturing facility in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. This move marks a shift from contract manufacturing to in-house production, aiming to strengthen supply chains and meet growing local demand. The plant, expected to be operational within three years, will create around 500 jobs and supports Haleon's goal to expand its presence in India, now its second-largest oral care market.
