According to a PTI report: The company recently started the facility near Gurugram in Haryana that has a manufacturing capacity of 1 lakh frames a month with an investment of US $1 million. It is looking at ramping it up to 3 lakh frames in 3 years.

“We have set up with facility to be able to innovate on design and manufacture high quality spectacle frames at lower costs. We will invest US $5 million over the next three years and will be able to manufacture 3 lakh frames a month” Peyush Bansal, Founder and CEO, Lenskart told PTI.
