India is currently the world\u2019s largest milk producer. This\nhappened over a period of three decades, as India transitioned from a country\nwith severe milk shortages to the world\u2019s foremost milk producer. A recent\nreport states that the dairy industry in India is expected to cross INR 30,840\nbillion by 2027.
\n
\nIndia\u2019s dairy consumption is also the highest in the world. India\u2019s dairy\nindustry is divided into organised and mainly unorganised sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CRISIL projects that the organised dairy industry will see yearly\ngrowth of 5-6%. While this consumption is primarily of liquid milk, there is an\nincreasing demand for and consumption of other dairy products like lassi,\nflavoured milk, ice cream, yoghurts, cheese, ghee etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These factors combined suggest a growing need for systems and\ninfrastructure that elevate milk production, its processing and product\nquality. The increase in population, higher disposable income, higher\nper-capita consumption, larger vegetarian population and the demand for hygiene\nhave made the industry transition to a more organised market and invest in dairy\nand milk packaging machines<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nichrome\u2019s relationship with India\u2019s dairy industry goes back\nmore than four decades.
