Anticipating at least seven per cent higher sales volume in the next two years, Berger Paints, the second largest paint maker in the country, is setting up a plant near Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh at an investment of Rs 1.5 billion.

Coming up in Sandila Industrial Area, the plant will enjoy fiscal incentives such as refund of the state’s share of the Goods and Services Tax and will cater to the Uttar Pradesh-Bihar belt.
