Within two hours of the plant’s announcement, officials marked about 29 acres of government non‑agricultural land in Fursatpur, Motihari, for a proposed Rs 350 crore dairy complex that aims to give local farmers a larger market.
The Bihar administration has moved quickly to allocate land for a proposed mega dairy processing unit near Motihari. Within just two hours of announcing a Rs 350 crore investment, officials identified roughly 29 acres of government non‑agricultural land in the Fursatpur area.
The earmarked parcel is intended to host a large‑scale dairy plant that will process milk from the surrounding region. The project, estimated at about Rs 350 crore, is positioned as a major step toward modernising the state's dairy sector.
State officials said the facility will create a reliable market for local dairy farmers, potentially increasing their income and stabilising supply chains. While the plant is still in the proposal stage, the rapid land identification signals strong governmental support for the initiative.
Further details on financing, construction timelines and operational capacity are expected to be released as the project moves forward.
