RN Valves & Faucets aims Rs 500 cr mark by 2028, opens floodgates for South India expansion
MUMBAI: RN Valves & Faucets has turned on the tap to full flow with an ambitious expansion drive that kicks off in south India, setting the stage for national dominance. The company, already a household name in the sanitaryware and fittings space, announced its bold plans in June 2025 to scale operations across the country with its sights firmly set on becoming a Rs 500 crore enterprise by 2028.
The move is more than just a regional push—it’s a full-blown transformation. RN’s revamped internal structure has set the plumbing in motion for a growth blueprint powered by operational upgrades and strong leadership. Executive assistant to the MD Rajeev Jain, who brings over 24 years of experience, including 14 working alongside top brass, is steering the company’s alignment with the 2028 growth vision.
“We are growing, not just in numbers but in depth”, said Jain. “Our entry into south India is the beginning. Next, we move into Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and the far east. This is a company built on trust and transformation”.
Backing this structural overhaul is senior HR manager Nidhi Singh, whose reforms in KRA transparency and employee engagement have played a central role in fortifying RN’s internal machinery. The company’s HR reboot under her watch reflects a sharp pivot toward people-driven growth.
Joining the leadership is Dipgal Singh Gusain, an industry veteran from Dabur, who now heads operations. He is set to oversee moulding, assembly, production planning, and dispatch functions. Gusain’s arrival signals a renewed focus on innovation and seamless interdepartmental collaboration—key to meeting the firm’s pan-India targets.
To anchor its southern thrust, RN Valves & Faucets will host a high-profile dealer meet in Hyderabad this July, underscoring its commitment to building regionally attuned partnerships. With over 4,800 dealers and more than 7,000 SKUs already in play, the company is primed for scale.
From touchless solutions to premium PTMT and CP fittings, the company has earned credibility with precision-led engineering and homegrown excellence. Its long-standing market mantra, ‘RN ka Naam, Quality ka Kaam’, continues to resonate across showrooms and supply chains alike.
As India’s housing and construction boom continues, RN Valves & Faucets is tightening every nut and bolt in preparation—not just to stay afloat, but to lead the current. From South India to the northeast, the company isn’t just expanding—it’s re-plumbing the map.

Ekart expands IKEA partnership with EV deliveries in Chennai
3PL to handle 600 plus products with 48 hour delivery via EV fleet.
MUMBAI: Flatpacks are going electric and your sofa might now arrive with a smaller carbon footprint. Ekart has expanded its partnership with IKEA to power last-mile deliveries in Chennai, doubling down on speed, scale and sustainability in one of India’s key urban markets. Under the collaboration, Ekart will manage end-to-end large-format deliveries for IKEA across the city using a 100 per cent dedicated electric vehicle fleet. The move makes Chennai the second major market after NCR-Delhi where Ekart handles IKEA’s last-mile logistics, signalling a broader rollout of EV-led supply chains.
The mandate is no small load. Ekart will oversee deliveries for over 600 products from IKEA’s catalogue, ranging from furniture to home décor—categories that demand specialised handling and precision logistics.
Backed by its technology-driven fulfilment network, Ekart is targeting deliveries within a 48-hour window, offering real-time tracking and end-to-end visibility from warehouse to doorstep. The focus is clear: faster turnarounds without compromising on control or customer experience.
The EV-first model also aligns with both companies’ sustainability goals, as urban logistics increasingly shifts towards zero-emission solutions. For IKEA, which continues to expand its omnichannel presence in India, reliable and eco-conscious last-mile delivery is becoming central to scale.
For Ekart, the partnership reinforces its positioning as an enterprise-grade logistics player in large-format commerce. The company already supports over 1,800 retail, D2C and enterprise brands, spanning last-mile delivery, part-truckload services and warehousing.
As India’s logistics ecosystem evolves, this collaboration highlights a growing trend: delivery is no longer just about distance, it’s about efficiency, experience and increasingly, emissions.
