The food and agricultural conglomerate Godrej Agrovet will invest INR 250 crores in the development of an edible oil processing factory in the Khammam district of Telangana.
Godrej Agrovet’s Oil Processing Facility
The proposed palm oil processing facility will have a 30 tonnes per hour (TPH) capacity that can be increased to 60 TPH. In the Khammam district, this would be the single largest private investment.
Godrej Agrovet anticipates that the facility will be fully operational by 2025–2026. The factory will include a self-contained cogeneration facility and meet all of its power requirements. This is one of the several initiatives under consideration across various business verticals of the company, which includes animal feed, aqua feed, agrochemicals, poultry processing, and dairy sectors, in the state.
