Howrah, West Bengal19 Jul 2026
PIB reported that a bhoomi pujan (foundation ceremony) is to be performed on 19 July 2026 for a curd production plant under the Amul Bengal Dairy Project, which Amul is setting up at Howrah Food Park, West Bengal, with an investment of about ₹700 crore. The release states the plant is planned to process around 30 lakh litres of milk per day and produce about 1,000 metric tonnes (10 lakh kg) of curd and other cultured dairy products daily upon completion.
Why it matters
If built as described, this would expand dairy processing and value-add capacity in West Bengal, potentially improving market access for milk-producing farmers connected to the cooperative network.
