Mysore Paints and Varnish Ltd on Wednesday got orders for 2.90 lakh bottles of indelible ink from 20 of India's top banks, including State Bank of India, State Bank of Mysore, Canara Bank and Indian Bank.

Mysore Paints, which has been supplying indelible ink for more than five decades for Indian elections, said though it had been getting a lot of calls, many private banks had not placed orders.

"Of the 172 banks, we've got orders from around 20. Reserve Bank of India officials from Mysuru office picked up 30,000 bottles," said C Harakumar, marketing manager, Mysore Paints.

India's sole supplier of indelible ink said it would be increasing production in the next four-five days. "We will be sending out despatches as and when we can," said Harakumar.
