Krishna Milk Union repaid ₹110-crore bank loan in just 30 months,far ahead of seven-year schedule . This feat was celebrated during Regional Workshop on ‘White Revolution 2.0’ at union's Vijayawada factory Wednesday.
Chairman Chalasani Anjaneyulu credited Project Kamadhenu for this success,completed at ₹163 crore,under initial estimate of ₹185 crore. The project includes automated dairy plant in Veeravalli,processing 6 lakh litres daily,with potential to expand to 8 lakh litres.
Challenges didn't stop them. Budameru floods forced 42-day shutdown of Vijayawada plant,causing ₹24 crore losses. But operations continued,shifting to Kamadhenu facility. Anjaneyulu thanked dairy farmers,milk society presidents,employees,and cooperative leaders for navigating these hurdles .
In past seven years,union's growth in procurement and finances has been remarkable. Milk procurement prices rose ₹28 per litre,with volumes up 71% to 10.33 crore litres. Over five years, ₹250 crore in bonuses given to farmers,₹45 crore in 2025–26 alone.
Financially,union's annual turnover jumped 78% to ₹1,273 crore. Net worth surged from ₹95 crore to ₹256 crore, an increase of 168%. Anjaneyulu stressed these results show strong financial discipline and operational efficiency. But can they keep momentum…?
