and Bengaluru. We are also trying to introduce some value-added products,” he said, adding that there were also efforts to popularise Vijaya products.

Stating that no other dairy in any State was offering the Rs 4 per litre incentive that Vijaya was offeirng to dairy farmers, he added that the total amount this year on account of this incentive would be Rs 72 crore. “The Lalapet facility will be modernised soon, and more Vijaya outlets would be opened in the city soon to push up sales,” he said.
