Creamline Dairy products, a subsidiary of Godrej Agrovet Ltd, is setting up a new plant in Andhra Pradesh at an outlay of Rs 30 crore, a top company official said today.

"Already we have seven factories, two in Hyderabad, one each in Madanapalli, Vijayawada, Mandya district (Karnataka) and in Nagpur. We also have a powder plant in Ongole (Andhra Pradesh)," he said.
Launching the fortified milk Enrich D, under the Jersey brand, which is targeted at health-conscious customers, he said, "We are a strong player in South India. With the new plant we will be able to serve in Odisha too."
"The marketing campaign will begin from October 7 onwards," he said, adding the company was in the process of scaling up its business across various categories as the industry was growing 25-30 per cent year-on-year.
