Q/ What are Amul’s expansion plans?
A/ Amul’s expansion plans are based on how much milk we will be getting. Generally, every year there is an expansion by ₹800 crore to ₹1,000 crore. We are getting 9 per cent more milk, which means 25 lakh litres. That means an investment of ₹1,000 crore. We are investing in Gujarat and outside in various product categories.
We are expanding in fresh products (milk, curd and buttermilk). A ₹500-crore dairy is coming up in Rajkot; land is being allocated by the state. Within two years, big dairy plants will also come up in Bagpat, near Delhi, Varanasi, Rohtak and Kolkata. The total investment would be between ₹300 crore and ₹500 crore.
We are also eying ₹1,000 crore in exports. Amul exports to some 55 countries, though mainly to neighbouring countries.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
