The Sangareddy District of Telangana has given roughly 47,000 acres of land to Godrej Agrovet's (GAVL) oil palm division for the construction of an oil palm processing facility by Godrej Agrovet.

The Telangana government's Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (Horticulture and Sericulture) was responsible for allocating the land. The company will use this permitted area to improve oil palm production and set up oil palm processing facilities.

Balram Singh Yadav, Managing Director, GAVL commented,” We are delighted to receive additional district in the fresh allotment released by the Government of Telangana. It is a testimony of GAVL’s commitment and efforts to boost oil palm plantation and promote farmer prosperity in the region. We would like to thank Government of Telangana for their support and commitment to this initiative which will benefit the farmers”.

GAVL recently inaugurated an edible oil refinery in Chintalapudi, Eluru district. This marks GAVL’s initial venture into downstream projects focused on value-added products in the oil and fats sector.

The refinery will primarily serve the internal requirements arising from GAVL’s oil palm operations in the southern states, while also meeting the demand from other crude palm oil players in the region.
