The 134-acre multi-category food campus in Sri City will have annual capacity of 250,000 tonnes in the end state and will be the largest chocolate manufacturing plant in India.
The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by 2015.
“Over the last three years, we’ve invested nearly $200m to expand existing operational facilities in India,” said Manu Anand, president, India and South Asia, Mondelez International, and MD, Cadbury India. “We’re delighted to partner with the government of Andhra Pradesh on this new investment, which will help us build on our success in India and drive long-term business sustainability. We expect this model plant to set examples in production efficiency, energy savings, emission reductions and community involvement.”
