Nichrome Blazes Trails in Packaging on ‘The Milky Way’ India’s White Revolution has attracted world-wide attention and the Indian dairy industry is expected to continue to play a major role in the future of the dairy industry in the world in coming years. ‘Operation Flood’, initiated by Dr V Kurien, brought about a major transformation in India’s dairy industry, propelling India to become world’s No. 1 milk producer. From 1/10th of the world production fifteen years ago, India’s production now accounts for 1/ 6th of total global milk output. Milk production in India is growing at 4 per cent per annum, whereas in the rest of the world, it grows at 2.1 per cent. India is not only the largest producer of milk but also the largest consumer of milk. The policy approach should be to create growth path for the dairy industry. Currently, milk constitutes 15 per cent of the average households’ expenditure on food. Given the rising demand for branded products and investments being made by organised sector players, Crisil believes the share of organised segment will increase to about 25 per cent by fiscal 2018. In volume terms, the dairy industry grew four per cent annually in the five years ended fiscal 2015, while the organised sector grew twice as fast. This evolution from a largely unorganized sector to a professionally-managed, technology-driven industry, Nichrome proudly makes its mark in milk and dairy packaging.
