India’s Dairy Moment: ₹825 Crore Boost in Haryana
Union Home & Cooperation Minister Amit Shah is set to inaugurate India’s largest dairy facility — the ₹325 crore Sabar Dairy Plant in Rohtak — part of a broader ₹825 crore development push across Haryana. With state-of-the-art machinery, the plant will process 150 tonnes of curd, 10 lakh litres of yoghurt, 3 lakh litres of buttermilk, and 10 metric tons of sweets daily, creating direct and indirect jobs for ~1,000 people. While beverage giants pour in huge investments, this move signals renewed emphasis on processing capacity and rural livelihoods in the cooperative dairy sector.
Key Takeaways:
-
The Sabar Dairy facility is now among India’s largest for curd, yoghurt & buttermilk.
-
It will enhance processing scale and job creation in Haryana’s dairy ecosystem.
-
Shows a shift back toward investing in dairy infrastructure amid dominance of beverage capital flows.
