City-based power and water transmission equipment maker, Skipper, on Friday said it has put up a new PVC pipe manufacturing facility in Gujarat.

The company, in a statement, said this is the first time it has set its foot outside eastern India, with this Rs 10-crore facility.

"The Indian PVC pipes and fittings market is pegged at Rs 20,000 crore by FY19, growing 7-8 percent per annum. Apart from a Rs 10-crore capex, the company will pump in Rs 50 crore for working and marketing requirements," Skipper director Devesh Bansal said.
