Patanjali has inaugurated Asia’s largest orange processing plant, the Patanjali Mega Food & Herbal Park, at MIHAN, Nagpur. The facility was inaugurated by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The state-of-the-art food park aims to transform Nagpur’s orange cultivation sector, providing sorting, grading, and cold storage facilities for farmers. This will enable them to store and sell their produce at optimal prices, boosting their income. The company also plans to increase the current orange yield per acre from 4-5 tonnes to 25-30 tonnes through advanced farming techniques.
The company has already invested Rs 1,000 crore, with an additional Rs 500 crore planned for expansion. The plant, equipped with advanced machinery from India and abroad, boasts a processing capacity of 800 tonnes of oranges per day, making it a crucial hub for India’s citrus industry.
Swami Ramdev, co-founder of Patanjali, emphasised the plant’s focus on 100% pesticide-free, preservative-free, and sugar-free orange juice, catering to health-conscious consumers worldwide.
The mega facility is set to drive farmer prosperity, accelerate industrial growth, and position Nagpur as India’s leading orange processing hub.
