Mysore Paints and Varnish Limited (MPVL) has 1,32,000 vials of ink of 10 ml ready to supply to the State Election Commission for the upcoming Assembly elections. The State-owned company received the order a few weeks ago. Each vial of ink is sufficient to apply on 600 voters. Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysuru, had established the company in 1937. The company had exported the ink to Afghanistan, South Africa, Nigeria, Canada, Ghana, Turkey, Nepal, Sierre Leone, Papua-New Guinea, Burkina Faso and Cambodia.
