Jubilant Foodworks plans to commission its proposed plant in Bengal in the next 12-18 months.

The quick service restaurant chain, which operates its flagship brand Domino’s Pizza, also hopes to bring down delivery time in its top 10 markets, including Calcutta to below 30 minutes as its distribution network expands.

The company has taken up a 12.7-acre plot at Naihati in South 24 Parganas and is investing Rs 100 crore in the project, which was announced at the Bengal Global Business Summit last year.

“The East continues to be our focus. Today there are about 270 restaurants in the east and we want to continue to expand in the region,” said Sameer Batra, president and chief business officer, of Domino’s India. East covers Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Assam, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh.

The company operated 1838 Domino’s Pizza restaurants as of June 30, 2023 across 394 cities.
