Heritage Foods seeks policy support for organised dairy in upcoming union Budget

Hyderabad, Jan 13 (UNI) Ahead of the union Budget 2026, Heritage Foods Ltd Executive Director Brahmani Nara on Tuesday called for targeted policy support to accelerate growth in India’s organised dairy sector, citing favourable market conditions following the September 2025 GST rationalisation.
In a statement, Brahmani said the GST changes have boosted organised dairy players, with consumers increasingly shifting toward high-protein and health-focused products such as paneer, cheese, ghee and butter.
She said government-led initiatives, including the Rashtriya Gokul Mission and the National Digital Livestock Mission, are helping to integrate more than 300,000 farmers associated with Heritage Foods into the organised dairy ecosystem.
Outlining expectations from the upcoming Budget, she highlighted three key priorities including subsidised access to quality cattle feed and chromosome-sorted semen to improve animal productivity, expansion of veterinary education infrastructure to address the shortage of veterinarians, and higher capital subsidies for mini-dairy units, particularly those led by women entrepreneurs.
India currently has around 68,000 registered veterinarians against an estimated requirement of 1.1 to 1.2 lakh, she noted, stressing that addressing this gap is critical for sustaining the government’s aggressive dairy expansion plans.
Enhanced support for small and decentralised dairy units, she added, would also help generate rural employment and strengthen milk procurement networks.
