The new Mother Dairy plant, developed under the supervision of the National Dairy Board, is designed to dramatically revolutionize milk production across a vast area. Its direct operational influence will span six adjacent districts, including Bhagalpur, Banka, Khagaria, Jamui, and Lakhisarai. This regional scale is achieved by directly linking thousands of local dairy farmers and livestock owners to the centralized, large-scale processing factory, guaranteeing a secure and structured market for their raw milk output.

In terms of capacity, the plant is launching with significant initial volume. The collection capacity is set to begin at 1 lakh liters per day (100,000 LPD) and is projected to quickly scale up to 2 lakh liters per day (200,000 LPD) in the near future. This expanding throughput demonstrates the region’s strong potential for milk production growth and provides critical volume metrics for international firms tracking growth curves in emerging dairy economies. The facility is spread over a substantial 15 acres of land.

The economic and social benefits for the local community are substantial, with residents hailing the project as a major “game-changer” that will shift the city’s fortunes. The plant is expected to generate more than 250 direct jobs and significantly more indirect employment opportunities across the connected six districts. Local sentiment emphasizes the gratitude towards government leadership, viewing the factory as a key engine for economic development and a necessary intervention to provide employment where the city had previously “lagged in all respects.”
