The Assam government has approved land allocation for Gujarat-based dairy cooperative Amul to set up a dairy processing plant in Rani, Kamrup district. The plant, with an estimated investment of ₹75-150 crore, will have a processing capacity of 1 lakh litres per day and is expected to benefit around 20,000 dairy farmers.
This initiative is part of Assam’s broader efforts to boost the agricultural economy and create employment opportunities through collaborations with leading entities in India’s dairy industry.
Industry Insight:
Amul’s expansion into Assam signifies the growing potential of the northeastern region in India’s dairy sector. Such investments are poised to enhance local dairy infrastructure and farmer incomes.
