The Mumbai facility, to be set up in 22,000 square feet area, is expected to be operational in two months, while the Pune facility would go live in the next 18 months, it said.

However, the company is yet to acquire a property in Pune, it said.

Tricom India would be evaluating various options to finance the expansion plan, it said, adding it would be through a mix of internal accruals and borrowings.

This expansion would facilitate the company to cater to large orders in the business, which is growing at over 100 per cent per annum.

The company, which had earlier set up a wholly-owned US subsidiary, Tricom Document Management Inc, is also planning offices in New Jersey and Chicago in this quarter, it said.
