Union Home Minister Amit Shah on July 20, 2026, laid the foundation stone of the world&#8217;s largest curd manufacturing plant under the<\/p>\n<p>Amul Bengal Dairy Project at Sankrail, Howrah Food Park. As <a href=\"https:\/\/ddnews.gov.in\/en\/\">DD News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If its production capacity is brought into full swing, the facility, which has been reported to be worth \u20b9700-crore, will process up to 30 lakh litres of milk daily and will directly benefit 1.2 lakh West Bengal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/dairy-farming-business-in-india\/\">dairy farmers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is much more than a government infrastructure project for entrepreneurs, MSME founders and investors. It indicates a paradigm shift in eastern dairy belt production, processing and distribution of milk and milk products.

It is the biggest investment in dairy sector in eastern India and is done by Amul, the largest dairy cooperative of India and is connected to PM Modi&#8217;s vision of White Revolution 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>The phase one will milk 10 lakh litres of milk. Full capacity will process 30 lakh litres of milk every day, including nearly 10 lakh kg of curd, 10 lakh litres of packaged milk, 2 lakh litres of UHT milk, 20 metric tonnes of paneer, 10 metric tonnes of ghee, 10 metric tonnes of sweets and 2.5 lakh packs of flavored milk.<\/p>\n<p>That volume generates a huge upstream and downstream business ecosystem. The entrepreneurs don&#8217;t have to face competition from Amul.

That transition opens up a whole new dimension of business activity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Market_Drivers\"><\/span><strong>Key Market Drivers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Increased packaged dairy product consumption in cities.
