Mysuru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy will inaugurate the hi-tech Mega Dairy at Alanahalli on March 1, at 2 PM. The mega dairy which will function from March 31 has the capacity to process six lakh litres of milk per day, which can also be extended upto 9 lakh litres. Most of the equipments for the new plant have been imported from Sweden and are fully automated, including with SCADA interface.

Minister of Higher Education GT Devegowda, Tourism Minister SR Mahesh, PWD Minister HD Revanna will also be present during the inauguration.

Former chief minister Siddaramaiah had laid the foundation for the project with an estimated cost of Rs 183 crore. The first phase of work is almost complete and is expected to be operational from March 31.

Vijay Kumar, Managing Director of Mysuru Milk Union Limited (MYMUL) said “The new facility has a capacity to process 6 lakh litres of milk per day which will be undertaken in two shifts and can be extended upto 9 lakh litres, followed by one lakh kg of curd, 25 tonnes of butter, 15 tonnes of ghee. Due to lack of space at the existing dairy, we came up with the decision to construct a mega dairy, and the work for the same started on July 8, 2014. With the setting up of new hitech dairy, people will now get much better quality milk and milk products including ghee, butter milk, curd, and also mysuru pak”.

The authorities have sent proposal for 150 skilled employees for new plant. As many as 280 permanent employees are already working in the facility, apart from more than 400 employees who are working on contract basis.
