Dairy conglomerates Shreeja Milk and Mother Dairy announce plans to establish processing units in Kuppam, promising the generation of approximately 8,000 jobs in the region.
In a significant move towards rural empowerment and economic development, Shreeja Milk Producer Company and Mother Dairy have been allotted land in Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, to establish their respective processing units.
On May 26, 2025, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu announced these investments during a meeting in Kuppam. The meeting, held at 09:45 IST, was a part of a broader agenda to attract large-scale investments to Andhra Pradesh, with a focus on clean energy and sustainable agriculture.
Shreeja Milk Producer Company is set to establish a dairy and animal feed processing unit, while Mother Dairy will set up a fruit pulp processing unit. These projects, scheduled for completion within 15 to 18 months, are aligned with the Chief Minister's vision of "Swarna Andhra" and the goal to achieve "Zero Poverty" by empowering farmers and creating sustainable livelihoods.
The primary objective of these projects is to strengthen the rural economy by directly procuring milk and horticultural produce from local farmers. This initiative aims to improve farmers' incomes and uplift their livelihoods, contributing significantly to the "Zero Poverty" vision.
These investments are expected to create around 8,000 jobs, boosting local industry and employment in the rural Chittoor district. The announcements were made on the social media platform X, marking a step forward in the larger agreement signed with the Kuppam Area Development Authority focusing on inclusive development and industrial growth in the region.
The transformative investment plans of both companies are designed to align with the Andhra Pradesh government's focus on inclusive economic growth and responsible public-private partnerships. These efforts are part of a broader agenda to attract large-scale investments to Andhra Pradesh, with a focus on clean energy and sustainable agriculture, contributing significantly to rural empowerment and economic development.
- The dairy and animal feed processing unit by Shreeja Milk Producer Company and the fruit pulp processing unit by Mother Dairy are business ventures that fall under the industry sector of agriculture and finance.
- With the provision of 8,000 jobs, these investment projects are anticipated to stimulate local industry growth, particularly in employment opportunities, which is a key aspect of rural development and economic empowerment.
