The company, which manufactures ceramic tiles globally, plans to invest nearly Rs 500 crore over the next four-five years, which includes setting up a greenfield facility in Gujarat. Besides, it plans to more than double its turnover to Rs 2000 crore by the year ending March 2015, from Rs 800 crore in the year ended March 2013, reports added.
Meanwhile, RAK plans to add 500 dealer showrooms to its existing network.
