Construction will begin at the end of January 2026, with building hand-over scheduled for March 2027.
Construction of the new distribution centre, which will be built to achieve BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A+ ratings, has already commenced.
The plant in Maharashtra will help the company expand its strong market presence in western India.
The new South Island recruitment of farmers interested in converting as well as existing organic farms will initially focus on those located around Southland and up to the Canterbury region.
The expansion is tied to a revision of the facility’s environmental permit, which would allow the company to scale operations while tightening environmental controls at one of the UK’s largest dairy manufacturing sites.
