Currently, India is the largest milk\nproducer in the world. Over the last three decades, India has transformed from\na country with acute milk shortages to the world’s leading milk producer. In\nthe latest report by IMARC Group titled ‘Dairy Industry in India 2021 Edition’,\nthe dairy market in India is expected to cross INR 21,971 billion by 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
India is also the leading consumer of milk\nwith the dairy industry divided into organised and mostly unorganised sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite COVID-19 induced restrictions, the\norganised sector is projected for a 5-6% growth, as per CRISIL. While\nconsumption is majorly of liquid milk, there is growing demand and consumption\nof VAPs (value-added products such as lassi, flavoured milk, ice-cream,\nyoghurts, cheese, ghee, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All this means that there is a growing need\nfor systems and infrastructure that augment milk productivity, milk processing\nand product quality. With increasing population, higher disposable income,\nhigher per-capita consumption, larger vegetarian population, demand for\nhygiene, etc., the industry has to transition to a more organised market, with\ninvestment in dairy and milk\npackaging machines<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nichrome\u2019s connections with India\u2019s dairy\nindustry go back 45 years.
