In 2010, The Company was re-named as CIFAL HERBAL PRIVATE LIMITED with its quest for diversification into manufacture of Botanical Extracts and other nature originated 

products.  Thus, the Company added a sophisticated botanical extraction facility adjacent to the existing citrus lime processing facility, all in one premises.
