The Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation, the cooperative which handles milk procurement and supply under the brand Aavin, is expanding its handling capacity, according to an official press release.
The dairy cooperative supplies 21 lakh litres of milk daily in Tamil Nadu against a daily procurement of about 30 lakh litres.
This is a huge growth as compared to a procurement of about 21.67 lakh litres in 2010-11, when Aavin had the capacity to handle about 24 lakh litres.
Over the last four years, the Dairy Development Department has invested over ₹410 crore to expand infrastructure to match the procurement increase.
By March 2016, Aavin’s milk handling capacity will be increased by an additional 8 lakh litres, with expansions in dairy units in Madurai and Coimbatore and a new unit in Perambalur. The cooperative is also taking steps to increase the milk handling capacity in Chennai dairy units to 13.50 lakh litres a day from the present 11.50 lakh litres, the release said.
