Among the infrastructure priorities reviewed was the construction of the Dhangwar milk plant, which Sukhu highlighted as a key project that will deliver economic support to farmers in multiple districts, including Kangra, Hamirpur, Chamba and Una. Sukhu underscored the importance of filling all essential operational posts within Milkfed to ensure smooth functioning of processing facilities and affiliated milk bars statewide.

In a significant policy move, the government announced enhanced Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for raw milk: cow milk will receive an MSP increase from ₹32 to ₹51 per litre, while buffalo milk MSP rises from ₹47 to ₹61 per litre. These adjustments are designed to improve farm-gate returns for dairy producers amid fluctuating market conditions and rising input costs.

Transport subsidies were also expanded: the per-litre payment for milk transport has doubled from ₹1.50 to ₹3, with an additional ₹3 per litre given to farmers who deliver milk themselves to collection centres located beyond two kilometres. Officials noted that moving to an online procurement data system will enhance transparency and efficiency across the federation’s supply chain.
