The World Food India 2025, organized by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), concluded with landmark achievements, marking one of the largest investment announcements in India’s food processing sector. Over the four-day event, 26 leading domestic and global companies signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) worth ₹1,02,046.89 crore. These commitments are expected to generate direct employment for more than 64,000 people and create indirect opportunities for nearly 1 million individuals.
Some of the most prominent names in the sector participated in these agreements, including Reliance Consumer Products, Coca-Cola India, Amul, Lulu Group, Nestlé India, Tata Consumer Products, Carlsberg India, B.L. Agro, Patanjali Foods, Godrej Agrovet, Haldiram’s, Dabur India, Allana, AB InBev, and Olam Food Ingredients, among others. The investments span across diverse segments such as dairy, meat and poultry, packaged foods, beverages, spices, confectionery, edible oils, fruits and vegetables, and ready-to-eat products.
The projects under these MoUs will be implemented across multiple states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Bihar, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, and the North-Eastern region. This widespread distribution will ensure that farmers, entrepreneurs, and local communities across the country benefit from the new opportunities, thereby strengthening rural economies.
Invest India, the national investment promotion agency, assisted MoFPI in finalizing these partnerships. According to the ministry, World Food India 2025 not only highlights India’s position as a trusted global destination for food processing but also lays a strong foundation for sustainable growth, innovation, and international collaboration.
With these record commitments, India has reaffirmed its leadership role in shaping the future of global food systems. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries, along with Invest India, will work closely with industry stakeholders to ensure effective and timely implementation of these investments.
