International technology group ANDRITZ has received its first order from Bengaluru Co-operative Milk Union Ltd. (BAMUL) to supply a new cattle feed production facility that will strengthen feed availability for dairy farmers across Karnataka, India. The plant is expected to contribute approximately 12,500 metric tons (MT) of cattle feed pellets per month, supporting a reliable supply of high-quality feed for the region's ever-growing dairy sector.
BAMUL, a constituent of the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) and one of India's leading dairy cooperatives operating under the Nandini brand, processes approximately 2.3 million liters of milk per day and supports thousands of dairy farmers across the state.
The ANDRITZ scope of supply includes the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a 500 t/d cattle feed pelleting plant together with two 5,000-ton grain storage silos on an EPC basis. The facility has been designed with provision for further future expansion.
The project builds on ANDRITZ's successful track record with KMF, for which ANDRITZ has previously delivered four cattle feed plants. Together, these facilities currently support the production of approximately 45,000 tons of cattle feed pellets per month across Karnataka. The new BAMUL plant will further expand feed production capacity and help meet increasing demand from the dairy farming community.
"We are delighted to continue our collaboration with the Karnataka Milk Federation through this important project for BAMUL," says Pavan Pawar, Vice President of Sales, ANDRITZ Feed & Biofuel.
"The new facility will help strengthen feed availability for dairy farmers while providing BAMUL with efficient and reliable feed production capacity.”
"This investment will support our efforts to provide a dependable supply of quality cattle feed to the farmers we serve."
The order reinforces ANDRITZ's position as a leading supplier of feed processing technologies in India and reflects its commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture, rural livelihoods, and food security through efficient feed production solutions.
