Amul commits ₹700 crore to Bengal dairy hub at Sankrail, billed as world's largest curd plant
Amit Shah laid the foundation stone for a ₹700-crore Amul project in Howrah, set to process 30 lakh litres of milk and 10 lakh kg of curd daily. The plant will link 1.25 lakh farmers and 30,000 women producers, with two more ice-cream plants planned for the state.
Amul is investing ₹700 crore in a Bengal dairy project at Sankrail, Howrah — billed as the world's largest curd plant, processing 30 lakh litres of milk daily. Two more ice-cream plants are planned for the state.
Why this matters
The Sankrail plant follows Amul crossing ₹1 lakh crore turnover in FY26, a first for an Indian food brand. The ₹700-crore Bengal project extends Amul's expansion into eastern India with curd and ice-cream capacity.
