Amul Dairy, will be setting up new plants at Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh, Pune and Punjab.
For this, Gujarat’s oldest milk co-operative will be investing Rs 1,000 crore over the next couple of years.
In the last financial year, it invested Rs 1,000 crore in the expansion of its plants.
The Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers Union Limited, popularly known as Amul Dairy is setting up a milk processing plant at Chittoor, which will be the first Amul-owned plant serving the five southern states of the country.
The new plant at Chittoor is being developed to process 1 lakh litres of milk, 50 tonnes of dahi, ghee, buttermilk and lassi, with provision for the manufacture of ice-cream, yogurt and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk in the future.
The AP govt had entered an agreement with Amul for revival of the defunct Chittoor Dairy, popularly called Vijaya Dairy.
Once known for being the second-largest dairy in the country, production at Chittoor Dairy was suspended for over 20 years due to its debts ballooning to Rs 182 crore.
In Maharashtra, the dairy already runs an ice-cream plant at Virar. It is now setting up another ice-cream plant with a capacity of 1 lakh litres per day in Pune.
In Punjab, the milk union is expanding its plant to manufacture sweets, white butter, UHT milk and paneer.
The company currently owns plants in Anand, Mogar, Khatraj, Kapdivav near Kapadvanj in Gujarat, apart from Mumbai, Pune and Punjab.
