Godrej Jersey Investment to Strengthen Telangana’s Dairy Ecosystem
India continues to face a significant protein consumption gap, with nearly 73 per cent of the population consuming less than the recommended daily protein intake.
Dairy products such as milk, curd, paneer, and milk-based beverages remain among the most accessible natural protein sources.
The new facility by Godrej Jersey is expected to play a critical role in meeting rising demand for value-added and nutrition-focused dairy products in Telangana and beyond.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Revanth Reddy, Chief Minister of Telangana; Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary, Industries & Commerce, IT, Electronics & Communications Department; Pirojsha Godrej, Executive Vice Chairperson, Godrej Industries Group; Anand Ramaswamy, Chief Operating Officer, Godrej Jersey; and Rakesh Swami, Group President – Corporate Affairs, Godrej Industries Group.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said that Telangana continues to prioritise an investor-friendly environment that supports inclusive growth.
He noted that partnerships with organisations such as Godrej Industries Group will strengthen agri-food processing capabilities, generate employment, and reinforce Telangana’s position as a preferred investment destination in India.
Pirojsha Godrej stated that the MoU reflects a shared commitment between the group and the Telangana government to accelerate industrial growth, create employment opportunities, and build high-impact infrastructure through public-private collaboration.

Godrej Jersey Facility to Drive Employment and Value-Added Dairy Growth
According to Sunil Kataria, CEO & MD, Godrej Agrovet Limited, consumer demand for value-added dairy products in India, including Telangana, is witnessing double-digit growth.
Driven by urbanisation, increasing health awareness, and convenience-led consumption, the new Godrej Jersey facility is expected to manufacture innovative, protein-rich dairy products while addressing nutritional needs. The project is also expected to generate over 300 direct employment opportunities over the next three years.
Beyond dairy, Godrej Industries Group has expanded its footprint in Telangana across sectors. In 2023, Godrej Agrovet announced an investment of approximately ₹300 crore for an Integrated Oil Palm Complex in Khammam district, including a Crude Palm Oil mill and an upstream R&D centre, with provisions for a future refinery.
Additionally, Godrej Properties entered the Hyderabad market earlier this year, with plans to invest ₹10,000 crore across four residential projects, responding to strong homebuyer demand supported by quality infrastructure, education, and lifestyle amenities in the state.
Rakesh Swami highlighted that Telangana’s progressive, business-friendly policies have made it one of India’s most dynamic investment destinations.
He noted that the group’s continued collaboration with the state government focuses on inclusive growth by strengthening agriculture, empowering MSMEs and women entrepreneurs, and delivering high-quality housing and infrastructure.
