The West Assam Milk Producers’ Co-operative Union Ltd. (WAMUL), popularly known as Purabi Dairy, recorded a 28% growth during the 2023-24 fiscal with a turnover exceeding ₹262 crore. The sale of milk products such as curd, ghee, paneer, and lassi also saw a significant increase. This growth can be attributed to the expansion of the business in new markets, including the Tinsukia and Dhubri districts. The Indian Army’s demand for fresh milk has also played a role in the dairy’s success. WAMUL is aiming for a turnover of more than ₹350 crore in the current fiscal year.
Union Minister Parshottam Rupala has reviewed the progress of the Assam Dairy Development Plan (ADDP) implemented by North East Dairy and Foods Limited. Rupala visited the West Assam Milk Producers’ Cooperative Union Ltd and reviewed the activities being done by WAMUL. He emphasised on activities like silage-making and paddy straw utilisation, while highlighting the importance of manure management and beekeeping. Rupala was also updated about the commissioning works of Purabi Dairy expansion project.
