Hatsun Agro Products Ltd. is planning to open a new plant in Maharashtra in the financial year 2019-20, according to its Managing Director RG Chandramogan.
“We are planning to put a plant to process 2.5 lakh litres of milk and 1.5 lakh litres of curd (a day),” Chandramogan told BloombergQuint in an interview. “Our depreciation and interest costs went up in the last 18 months as we have been heavily investing in infrastructure. Now that stabilisation phase is over.”
The company, he said, plans to enhance its daily ice cream processing capacity to 1.5 lakh litres from 1.2 lakh litres.
Milk prices were low in one to two states last year but not in the southern states. Cooperatives are strong here so discount prices are not available.RG Chandramogan, Managing Director, Hatsun Agro Products
