Creamline Dairy Products Limited, which retails its products under the ‘Jersey’ brand, is planning to set up a tetra packaging plant in Hyderabad with an investment of Rs 10 crore by 2012.
Speaking to mediapersons at its silver jubilee celebrations here today, K Bhaskar Reddy, managing director, Creamline Dairy, said, “Tetra pack has one to three months shelflife. So, our focus would be more on cultured and long shelflife products.”
The plant, work on which is likely to start this year, would have a production capacity of 100,000 litre per day, he said. The plant would come up on 10 acres.
Creamline has tied up with Tetra Pak, the processing and packaging major, to bring the UHT (ultra high temperature) technology to its plant. Around 50 per cent of the proposed investment would be raised through loans from financial institutions, he said.
