Three Gujarat Projects Worth Rs 407.56 Crore Set for Launch
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to launch three dairy and food processing projects in Gujarat with a combined value of Rs 407.56 crore, according to a report published by Hindusthan Samachar on 29 October 2026. Beyond the headline figures — the number of projects, their combined value, and their location in Gujarat — no further breakdown of scope, individual project values, promoters or timelines was available at the time of writing.
The announcement adds to a pipeline of food and agro-processing investment already under way in Gujarat. Projects India currently tracks 96 food and agro-products projects in the state, spanning stages from planning through to near-completion.
Gujarat's Tracked Food and Agro Pipeline in Context
Among the live projects tracked by Projects India in the food and agro-products sub-sector in Gujarat, the Milk Powder Manufacturing Project at Banaskantha — promoted by Banaskantha District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited and valued at Rs 440 crore — is reported as nearly complete. Hyfun Foods Private Limited has begun construction on a Rs 1,000 crore frozen potato products plant at Mehsana. A sugar refinery expansion by Shri Dutt India Private Limited at Kandla is currently under approvals.
These projects illustrate the variety of dairy, cold-chain and agro-processing activity under way across the state, making Gujarat one of the more active geographies in the segment within Projects India's records.
National Picture: 1,791 Projects Tracked Across the Sub-sector
Projects India tracks 1,791 live projects in the food and agro-products sub-sector nationally, with 17 added in the past 90 days. The stage breakdown shows significant near-term opportunity: 280 projects are in active construction, 87 have received approvals and are moving toward construction, and 501 remain under approvals — representing a large pool of potential future work for suppliers and contractors.
Geographically, Maharashtra leads with 453 tracked projects, followed by Karnataka at 312, Andhra Pradesh at 139, Uttar Pradesh at 112, Madhya Pradesh at 106 and Gujarat at 96. Of the 1,791 tracked projects, 601 are recorded as completed.

What this means for suppliers and contractors
The combination of the newly reported Gujarat launch and the existing tracked pipeline signals continued demand for dairy processing equipment, cold-chain infrastructure, civil construction and utilities across multiple states. Key points for suppliers assessing where to focus:
- Gujarat: 96 tracked projects, with dairy and agro-processing visible at multiple stages. The Banaskantha milk powder facility approaching completion may create near-term demand for commissioning and ancillary services.
- Maharashtra and Karnataka: The two largest tracked concentrations nationally, at 453 and 312 projects respectively, with a significant share still under approvals — suggesting a sustained forward pipeline.
- Construction-ready projects nationally: 280 projects at construction stage and 87 with approvals received represent the most immediate addressable opportunity for equipment suppliers and civil contractors.
- Under-approvals pipeline: 501 projects under approvals indicate the medium-term order book across the sub-sector remains substantial.
Suppliers and contractors can monitor the full pipeline through all tracked projects on Projects India, filtered by stage, state and sub-sector. For context on recent commissioning activity in the segment, see also the Khetika Rs 20 crore food processing facility commissioning in Patna.
