Madurai, Oct. 10 Madurai will have a mega dairy unit, capable of handling five lakh litres of milk by 2010.

Funded partly by banks and own resources of the Madurai District Milk Producers Cooperative Union, also known as Aavin, the new unit is to be established on a 40 acre premises of the existing unit at a cost of Rs 70 crore.

A detailed project report has been forwarded to the Commissioner for Milk Production and sanction is expected in a month.

While the sale of Aavin milk has touched an all-time high of nearly two lakh litres by the middle of September this year, milk production too peaked to a high of 2.73 lakh litres. The union also achieved its highest-ever profit of Rs 4.14 crore, largely through increased sales, said the District Collector, Mr S.S. Jawahar, addressing the general body meeting of the union.
