Godrej Agrovet has inaugurated India's first Integrated Oil Palm Complex in Khammam, Telangana, marking a significant milestone in the domestic oil palm sector. The complex represents a cumulative investment of INR 300 Crore and consolidates the entire oil palm value chain—from seed and genetics to refinery operations—under one roof. This strategic development aims to enhance India's edible oil security and support the expansion of oil palm cultivation in the region.

Key Features and Investment

The Khammam facility is designed as a fully integrated unit supporting comprehensive seed-to-refinery operations. The complex includes a seed garden established in partnership with leading global companies, an R&D center, a nursery, and a processing mill. The mill, the first by a private company in the state, has commenced operations with a capacity of 30 tonnes per hour and is designed for future expansion up to 60 tonnes per hour. This scalability aligns with the company's target to increase the area under plantation in Telangana from the current 10,000 ha to 30,000 ha by 2030.

Strategic Significance

By bringing the entire value chain together, the complex is positioned to support greater efficiency, quality control, and traceability. The facility also houses a Samadhan Centre, a flagship initiative serving as a one-stop resource for farmers offering advisory support and access to farm inputs. The inauguration was attended by several key government officials, including the Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana, underscoring the state's support for its oil palm mission.

Facility Overview

The establishment of this complex reflects Godrej Agrovet's commitment to building a self-reliant edible oil economy and strengthening the nation's food security through sustainable agricultural practices.
