Rajkot Dairy sets up state-of-the-art milk processing plant with NDDB's aid.

Rajkot District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited, also known as Rajkot Dairy, has set up a state-of-the-art milk processing plant with the help of National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). The dairy claimed that the processing plant is a first of its kind in India.

The new processing unit is presently being run on trial basis and it would become fully operational by next month.

Once the plant commences its operations, the processing capacity of Rajkot Dairy would increase to 600,000 litres per day from the current 300,000 liters.

'We have set up a new milk processing plant which will improve the quality of our products. NDDB has supported to set up this plant,' said Govind Ranparia, chairman, Rajkot Dairy.

Total expenditure incurred on the plant was about Rs. 100 crore for which NDDB provided 82 per cent fund while the remaining 18 per cent was managed by Rajkot Dairy.
