India Bags ₹1.02 Lakh Crore in Food Processing Investments. Why OEMs Must Prepare Now!

In September 2025, India achieved a historic milestone: ₹1.02 lakh crore in MoUs for food processing, signed by global and Indian giants including Reliance, Coca-Cola, Amul, Nestlé, and others at the World Food India summit. These agreements are expected to generate 64,000 direct jobs and fuel new infrastructure projects across dairy, packaged foods, spices, beverages, and ready-to-eat products (Source: Moneycontrol, Business Standard, Financial Express).

This isn’t just about investment—it’s a wake-up call for OEMs and suppliers.

Why This Matters to OEMs & Component Suppliers

• Massive New Infrastructure: Plants will require valves, actuators, pneumatic systems, controls, and automation at scale.
• Tight Timelines: Delays in component supply can ripple across entire project builds.
• Cost Pressures: Investors expect efficiency—OEMs need suppliers 
  who deliver value without compromise.

With global tariffs and geopolitical uncertainties reshaping trade flows, relying on imports exposes OEMs to risk. That’s where local, reliable suppliers make the difference.
