Godrej Agrovet pitches White Revolution 2.0 as dairy demand outpaces India's productivity

Animal nutrition CEO flags a yawning gap: India yields 4.87 kg/cow vs 7.18 kg globally, and feeds just 7.5 mt against a 70 mt need. With per-capita milk at 471 g/day and flavoured-dairy preference at 58%, productivity gains in feed, genetics and farm management are framed as the unlock to a 300 mt output target.
