“We have got around 17 acres in the food park from West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation to set up our centralised milk processing plant in the country,” said Amul Dairy’s managing director K Rathnam.

More Milk, Yogurt and Ghee

Once completed, the new plant will produce milk, yoghurt and ghee. Rathnam estimates that by 2020, the demand for milk in Kolkata will touch 20 lakh liters per day.

The plant, which will begin to be constructed in 2016 will help fulfill this demand.
