Panaji, Jun 25 (UNI) Blue Star has expanded its range of stylish and differentiated residential water purifiers with a unique ‘Immuno Boost Technology’ to target 3500 retail outlets in Financial Year 2018-19.
According to a statement here on Monday, Blue Star Limited has announced the launch of a stylish and differentiated range of residential water purifiers across various price points with RO, UV, RO+UV and RO+UV+UF technologies.

Blue Star, which completes 75 years of its existence this year, entered into the residential water purifier business in October 2016.

This initiative is a part of the Company’s aggressive growth plans to expand its presence in related new product categories. The Company will gradually enhance its range to cover commercial water purification systems as well, the statement added.
