Nestle India has taken a significant step in expanding its manufacturing footprint with the establishment of its first factory in eastern India. The foundation stone for the new facility was laid in Khordha, Odisha, in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Odisha, Shri Mohan Charan Majhi. This factory, Nestle India’s tenth in the country, represents a crucial milestone in the company’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative and its ongoing efforts towards sustainable and technologically advanced manufacturing.
The Khordha factory is set to play a vital role in Nestle India’s expansion plans. With an initial investment of approximately ₹900 crores, the facility will focus on producing food products, including prepared dishes and cooking aids. The strategic choice of Odisha as a location not only enhances Nestlé’s reach in eastern India but also aligns with the region’s growing industrial potential.
During the groundbreaking ceremony, Shri Mohan Charan Majhi expressed his support for the project, highlighting its potential to drive economic growth and employment in the region. The factory is expected to bring in advanced technology, boost local industry, and provide a sustainable, digitally managed, and paperless manufacturing environment.
“With a steadfast adherence to ‘Make in India,’ we had announced our tenth factory in Odisha, reaffirming the significance of India as a market,” said Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director, Nestlé India. “We are confident that this upcoming factory will not only help us with our business but will also stand tall as a vibrant example of gender diversity, sustainable manufacturing, a paperless, digitally managed facility with an abiding focus on the environment.”
Nestlé India has a wide network of manufacturing plants located in various regions of India, including Moga, Choladi, and Pantnagar, and is further extending its presence with a new factory in Khordha, highlighting their commitment to nationwide consumer reach.
Moreover, Nestle India aims to make this factory an inclusive workplace, fostering gender diversity and providing employment opportunities for a broader workforce. This move reflects the company’s long-term vision of creating sustainable growth while making a positive social impact.
