Patanjali Ayurved Ltd is set to inaugurate its much-anticipated Mega Food and Herbal Park in Mihan, Nagpur, this Sunday. With an investment of ₹1,500 crore, this state-of-the-art facility is poised to transform the agricultural and food processing landscape of Vidarbha. The inauguration will be graced by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and yoga guru Ramdev. The plant, which boasts cutting-edge technology, will focus on processing oranges and other fruits while ensuring minimal waste and maximum efficiency.
Acharya Balkrishna, Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved Ltd, stated that the Nagpur plant is Asia’s largest and most advanced orange processing unit. With a daily processing capacity of 800 tonnes, the facility operates on a zero-waste model, starting with extracting volatile and fragrance oil from orange peels. The plant will not only cater to domestic demand but also aim to provide export-quality products, strengthening India’s position in the global food processing industry. Despite challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Patanjali has successfully brought this project to fruition, marking a significant step for the farmers of Vidarbha.
The Mega Food Park will process a variety of fruits and vegetables, including lime, amla, pomegranate, guava, grapes, gourd, carrot, mango, onion, and tomato. This initiative is expected to uplift local farmers by providing them with a stable market for their produce while also generating employment opportunities in the region. Acharya Balkrishna emphasised that almost every village in the area is now connected to the project, which will directly contribute to the prosperity of local farmers.
