Amul Dairy to set up Rs 100cr processing plant in Assam
Vadodara: The Kaira District Milk Producers Union Limited, popularly known as Amul Dairy, is set to establish a dairy processing plant in Assam with an investment ranging between Rs 75 crore and Rs 100 crore. The move is aimed at boosting dairy production in the region and expanding Amul's footprint in the eastern belt of the country. The Assam govt has allotted a 20-bigha parcel of land on lease to Amul Dairy at the Institute of Farm Management Campus in Rani, near Guwahati. The decision to lease the land was approved earlier this month by the state cabinet as part of a broader initiative to enhance the dairy sector under the Advantage Assam 2.0 programme. Amul Dairy chairman Vipul Patel confirmed the development, stating that the Assam plant is part of the cooperative's ongoing expansion across India. "Our new projects, including the Chittoor Dairy in Andhra Pradesh and the ice cream plant in Pune, are already operational. Paneer and sweets production has also begun at the Pune facility," he said. According to the agreement signed with the Assam govt, the new plant is expected to benefit around 20,000 dairy farmers in the state. Initially, the plant will have a milk processing capacity of one lakh litres per day, with plans for future expansion. "The plant in Assam will become operational within the next one and a half years," said Amul Dairy managing director Amit Vyas, told TOI. He added that the facility will play a significant role in strengthening Amul's operations in the northeastern region.
