Dairy Plants
India's modern milk supply goes back to December 15, 1950, when the
Aarey Milk Plant in Bombay launched the supply of pasteurized and bottled milk on
large-scale for the first time in India. Subsequently, over the years, the share of the
organized sector increased after the launching of Operation
Flood in 1970.
From an insignificant 200,000
liters per day (lpd) milk processing in 1951, the organized sector
is presently handling over 20 million lpd in almost 500 dairy plants.
Already, one of the world’s largest liquid
milk plants is located in Delhi, handling over 800,000 liters of
milk per day (Mother Dairy, Delhi). India's first automated
dairy (capacity: 1 mlpd), Mother Dairy, Gandhinagar, was commissioned
at Gandhinagar near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in Western India. It is
owned by India’s biggest dairy cooperative group, Gujarat
Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) in Anand, with
an annual turnover in excess of Rs 22 billion (US $500 million)
in 1999.
