World Food India 2025 ended with a record ₹1.02 lakh crore in investments from 26 major global and Indian companies. This is the largest ever for India’s food processing sector.
The four-day event, organised by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), encouraged partnerships in dairy, meat, packaged foods, beverages, condiments, and ready-to-eat products. As a result, these projects will create over 64,000 direct jobs and help more than 10 lakh people indirectly.
Major companies signing agreements included Reliance Consumer Products, Nestlé India, Tata Consumer Products, Amul, Coca-Cola India, Patanjali Foods, and Carlsberg India. They will work on beverages, edible oils, confectionery, spices, and processed fruits and vegetables.
The investments will spread across 20 states, such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Odisha, and Jammu & Kashmir. This wide coverage ensures that farmers, entrepreneurs, and rural communities benefit.
MoFPI said these deals mark a new era for India’s agri-food economy. Companies like Haldiram, Dabur, Godrej Agrovet, Lulu Group, and Olam Food Ingredients plan food parks, modern supply chains, and waste-reduction projects.
Invest India helped structure and finalise the agreements. This shows growing confidence in India’s policies, logistics, and consumer demand.
