Amul is set to lay the foundation stone for a new dairy plant in West Bengal on June 14, with an investment of Rs. 700 crore (US$ 74.8 million). The project is expected to be one of the first major industrial investments to take shape in the state under the new government. The foundation stone-laying ceremony is likely to be attended by Union Home Minister Mr. Amit Shah, underscoring the significance of the project for the region’s industrial and dairy sector development. The investment reflects Amul’s continued focus on expanding its dairy processing and value-added product capabilities while strengthening its presence in eastern India.
The upcoming facility is expected to contribute to the growth of West Bengal’s dairy ecosystem by enhancing processing infrastructure and supporting the broader development of the sector. The project is also anticipated to generate economic activity and employment opportunities while reinforcing the state’s attractiveness as an investment destination. Industry stakeholders view the investment as a positive step towards expanding organised dairy operations in the region and improving value-chain efficiencies. The initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to promote industrial growth and strengthen agro-processing infrastructure in West Bengal. With Amul moving ahead with this significant investment, the project is expected to play an important role in supporting dairy sector expansion and boosting economic development in the state.
