Amul to set up Rs. 200 crore unit in West Bengal.

Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), the maker of Amul dairy products, is setting up a unit in West Bengal for an investment of around Rs. 200 crore.

According to Krishna Gupta, Managing Director of West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation, GCMMF is taking up 16 acres of land at the Sankrail Food Park in Howrah district in the State.

'Amul project would be the anchor investment in the 34 acre phase three of the food park,' Gupta. The State arm WBIDC is developing and extending the park.

This is part of GCMMF's on-going new multi-unit expansion plan outside Gujarat. The cooperative federation couple of years ago had decided to set up two plants in Delhi and one each in Maharashtra, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.
