Procter & Gamble India, a manufacturer of FMCG goods, announced on Wednesday that it will invest Rs 2,000 crore to build a new personal healthcare manufacturing facility in Gujarat.

Procter & Gamble, which is the owner of well-known brands including Ariel, Duracell, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Oral-B, Pampers, Pantene, Tide, Vicks, and Whisper, would be opening its ninth facility in India as a result.
