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.
