Amul selects a 25-acre plot in Telangana for its factory.

Amul plans to source the milk and other raw materials it needs for the facility from Telangana farmers and the state's many cooperatives and FPOs.

Fast-tracking plans to build its largest factory in South India near Hyderabad is the Gujarat-based major dairy cooperative society Amul, adding gasoline to Telangana's White Revolution in the dairy sector. The dairy giant has decided to build a milk processing factory on 25 acres of property in Wargal, Gajwel.

Official sources confirmed the company was nearing completion of the land sale, which is estimated to be valued around Rs.25 crore, and that the factory, with a capacity of five lakh litres per day, will be built there.

A senior official from the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation said that Amul was making plans to gradually increase the plant's output to 10 million litres per day.

In December 2021, Telangana's government and the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMF), led by Sabarkantha Dist Co-op Milk Producers Union-Sabar Dairy MD Babubhai M Patel, inked a memorandum of understanding.

GCMMF will invest around Rs.300 crore in Phase 1 and Rs.200 crore in Phase 2 to establish the facility, as stated during the deal signing event.
