The government announced that domestic and international firms have committed Rs 1.02 lakh crore (Rs 1.02 trillion) in investments to India’s food processing sector under the MoUs signed at World Food India 2025.

A total of 26 companies have signed memorandums, including major names such as Reliance Consumer Products, Coca-Cola bottlers, Nestlé India, Amul, Tata Consumer Products, and Godrej Agrovet.

Reliance Consumer Products is reported to have inked a Rs 40,000 crore agreement for integrated food manufacturing units across the country. 

Coca-Cola’s three Indian bottlers plan to invest Rs 25,760 crore in both brownfield and greenfield expansion.

The ministry projects direct employment generation for over 64,000 people and indirect employment for more than 1 million across the ecosystem.

This wave of commitments reinforces the government’s efforts to promote value addition in agriculture, reduce wastage, and position India as a global food processing hub.
