Kochi: When thousands throng Ayodhya to visit Ram Mandir on Monday and the following days, many of them will be using the bio-toilets produced and installed by a Kerala-based company called Indian Centrifuge Engineering Solutions Pvt Ltd (ICF). 

ICF has its major manufacturing unit at Kerala Small Industries Development Corporation Limited (SIDCO)'s industrial estate in Ettumanoor (Kottayam district).  It opened its second factory in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, in 2022.

Notably, ICF has been supplying various sanitation products to Sabarimala since 2013.

ICF took up the Ayodhya special order from Swachh Bharat Mission and completed the delivery and installation of over 500 bio-toilets within 60 days to make them ready before Makar Sankranti on January 15. The company has also taken up 24x7 maintenance of these toilets for the next year.

ICF focuses on the manufacture of bio-toilets. The company has a monthly capacity to produce 300 bio-toilets. ICF also produces treatment systems where there is no basic infrastructure, chemical toilets, hand wash stations, water-free urinals, and shower cabins.  

The consecration ceremony at the Ram temple will be held on Monday with the "pran pratishtha" of the idol of Ram Lalla in the temple.
