The investment proposals were submitted under the Uttar Pradesh Dairy Development and Dairy Products Promotion Policy, 2022. The policy provides a framework for encouraging investment in dairy infrastructure and dairy-product manufacturing in the State. During the trade show, stalls organised by the Dairy Development Department, cooperatives and private dairy companies attracted visitors and prospective investors. Participating brands and companies included Parag, Amul, Namaste India, Paras Dairy, Gyan Dairy, New Era Dairy, Alpha Milk Foods and CP Milk. Department officials briefed investors and visitors on government schemes and investment opportunities in the dairy sector. Uttar Pradesh Milk Commissioner Dhanlakshmi K. said the department had received proposals worth ₹695.18 crore, with the projects expected to generate employment for more than 2,500 people. The department is also working to attract additional investors and expand employment opportunities for young people.From Proposals to Project Execution
The proposed investments cover multiple districts and could support the expansion of dairy processing, manufacturing and related business activities across Uttar Pradesh. However, the ₹695.18 crore figure represents investment proposals rather than confirmation that all projects have been implemented. The next stage will be the progress of these proposals towards execution, including the establishment of facilities and the creation of the anticipated jobs.
