The eastern zone is one of the fastest-growing markets for our value-added dairy products portfolio, clocking a CAGR of around 35 percent in the last five years.

Going ahead, we plan to increase our brand presence and footprint along with portfolio and manufacturing capacities across the region, which will always be at the core of our expansion strategies, said Sanjay Sharma, Business Head Dairy Products, Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable.

The company aims to tap over 30,000 outlets from the current count of around 17,000 in the next five years, Sharma said at the launch of a TVC-led campaign for its popular Mother Dairy Mishti Doi’ (sweet curd).

Our objective is to grow the value-added dairy products portfolio at a CAGR of more than 30 percent over the course of five years. Our current utilised capacity at the Dankuni (Hooghly district) plant is 40 percent, which we would ramp up to 60 percent by this fiscal. We will take a call on further investment for the facility at the end of March 2023, he told.
