Godrej Agrovet, through its subsidiary Creamline Dairy Products Limited (CDPL), has formalised plans to set up a ₹150-crore dairy processing facility in Telangana. The agreement was sealed via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the state government during the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025, marking a significant addition to the region’s dairy infrastructure.
Strategic Investment to Strengthen Dairy Ecosystem
The proposed facility, to be developed on a 40-acre site, forms part of the wider Godrej Industries Group’s investment strategy in Telangana, now cumulatively exceeding ₹10,000 crore across various business verticals.
CDPL, which markets its products under the Godrej Jersey brand, stated that the investment aims to reinforce the state’s dairy ecosystem at a time when protein deficiency remains widespread. Citing that 73 per cent of Indians consume less protein than recommended, the company underscored the role of dairy products as a crucial and accessible nutritional source.
Government and Industry Alignment
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy highlighted that the partnership reflects the state’s commitment to fostering industrial expansion and attracting long-term investments. Pirojsha Godrej, Executive Vice Chairperson of Godrej Industries Group, emphasised that the agreement demonstrates the group’s continued focus on industrial growth, employment generation, and infrastructure enhancement within Telangana.
Sunil Kataria, CEO and Managing Director of Godrej Agrovet, noted the rising demand for value-added dairy products in the state. He stated that the facility will not only help address nutritional needs but also act as a catalyst for employment, generating over 300 direct jobs within three years.
A Broader Investment Landscape in Telangana
This facility adds to Godrej Agrovet’s ongoing developments in the state. In 2023, the company committed around ₹300 crore to an Integrated Oil Palm Complex in Khammam district, comprising a crude palm oil mill and a dedicated R&D centre, with provisions for a future refinery.
Further, Godrej Properties has forayed into Hyderabad’s real estate market with plans to invest nearly ₹10,000 crore across four residential projects, reflecting the group’s diversified expansion strategy within the region.
