Amul, India's No. 1 milk producer, will be setting up a state-of-the-art Ice Cream manufacturing facility at Khed City, Pune. Dr. K Rathnam, Managing Director - Amul Dairy, signed a MoU with Khed Economic Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (KEIPL) recently.

Khed City is one of India's Smart Emerging Industrial Townships in Pune District, being developed over 4,200 Acres by Khed Economic Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (KEIPL), a Joint Venture company between Kalyani Group and Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC).

"Pune is our largest market for Amul Ice-Cream and currently there is a supply shortage. We wanted a quick set up in and around Pune, and obviously, Khed City qualifies as our preferred destination. We have got around 11 acres land in Khed City for our new dairy plant. The facility is planned to commence its operation in twelve to eighteen months with an estimated investment of over Rs120 crore," said Dr. K. Rathnam, Managing Director - Amul Dairy.
